Join this journey to the flea markets of Paris, the brocantes of
Brittany, and into the heart of the city of Quimper, to see hundreds of
examples of this distinctive and beautiful French pottery, some of it
quite unique and rare. Learn about the history, art, and spirit of the
Breton people, as reflected on the pottery from Quimper. Meet merchants,
faencerie personnel, and museum directors whose history in Quimper goes
back for generations. More than 800 photographs bring an in-depth look
at the famous pottery, Quimper, and its home, Brittany. An important
first for the collector is a chapter of alphabetically-ordered Quimper
pottery, presented in photos and text. Definitions are given and price
ranges listed, based on 12 years of market-trend observations in the
United States, France, and more recently, the Internet.
