The young girl with a baby, one of the famous creations of Berthe SAVIGNY, born in 1882 in Quimper, in a family of artists. When she was a child, she met Gauguin, Apollinaire, Emile Bernard and Max Jacob. In 1927, she started working with the Manufacture HB in Quimper. Berthe Savigny's works, full of sensivity and tenderness, met an immediate success, reinforced with the reedition of the collection by HB-Henriot.
Our Quimper Faience collection is imported directly from the Henriot Quimper in Quimper, France. Founded in 1685, Henriot Quimper is know the world over for its know-how of the “Quimper Paint Touch” and the tradition of producing and hand-painting every piece of faience in-house. Henriot Quimper continues the tradition producing the traditional patterns featuring the Breton figures as well as many new more modern designs. The superbly talented resident artists at Henriot still hand-craft every piece of Quimper Pottery. Each piece of Quimper faience is completely handmade and painstakingly hand-painted. Each piece of Quimper is unique. One artist hand paints each piece from start to finish then signs the piece and marks it “Henriot” to ensure its authenticity.

Colors may vary. Colors in photograph are close but may not represent true colors. All Quimper faience pieces are fully hand painted. Each piece is therefore unique.
