Quimper

I shall be away until Sunday in Brittany, staying avec ma soeur in Finistere the most westerly part of France. Quimper, in the centre of the region, is the home of the famous Henriot factory which has been making this tin-glazed faience pottery since the 16th Century.
I'm totally disorganised and rushing off to catch my plane.. more next week.

    Here referred from An Aesthete's Lament. Hope you have a lovely trip. Your drawings are fabulous.

    I love Quimper ware, and wrote a blog post about it this January:
