Faïencerie Henriot

Faïencerie Henriot, also known as Faïencerie d'Art de Quimper, is an earthenware factory located in Quimper, Brittany, France. Founded in 1690, it is one of the oldest earthenware factories in operation in Europe.

​

Henriot's craftsmen perpetuate time-honored manufacturing techniques, notably hand-painting, giving each piece a unique quality and authenticity. Decorations are created using natural pigments, then the pieces are glazed and fired at high temperature to obtain the characteristic earthenware finish.

​

Henriot products are highly prized by collectors and art lovers for their beauty and cultural heritage. The faïencerie offers a wide range of products, from plates and dishes to vases, decorative tiles and figurines.
