For a long time I have been interested in style of folk painting from France called Faience. Years ago my husband and I stopped at a pottery and bought a Faience style plate for my mother-in-law. I recently found out that the mid blue used in the pottery is referred to as Quimper (the French pronounce it “kim-pear”). I recently found a small plate, 1930’s, signed Henrriot Quimper while in France. So we have to have a colour called Quimper blue.
