From OldQuimper.com
Quimper...pronounced "kem-pair"...is a town in northwestern France. It is also a people and a pottery.

To the people of Quimper, the town name is Kemper, which in their language  describes a confluence of rivers. ("Quimper" is a somewhat nonsensical rendition as not all the Breton dialects have a "Q" and a true French pronunciation would be different from the actual "kem-pair"). At any rate, "confluence of rivers" is an apt description, as the town is situated at the juncture of two rivers, the Odet and the Steir. Two other rivers, the Jet and the Frout, are close-by, but travel underground through the town limits. Historically, this close proximity to rivers meant an ideal place to establish a pottery factory and thus, Quimper has been a pottery town for centuries. Its "recent" history of continuous pottery production begins in 1708. (Previous accounts put the date as 1690, but history is not written in stone and recent findings have provided further information). 

By the last decade of the nineteenth century, three pottery factories were operating in the town of Quimper. One was the Porquier factory, another was known as the Grande Maison or De la Hubaudière factory, and the third, owned by Jules Henriot, was called the Faïencerie d’Art Breton. Tin-glazed earthenware, known in France as faïence, was a popular product, especially pieces that were hand-painted with scenes depicting life in the region of Brittany.

The making of faïence is an art. Especially in the early days, prior to the introduction of more modern methods, when both the technical and artistic skills necessary to make a piece of faïence were quite daunting. Extremely difficult to master its making, I've been known to liken faïence to being the "puff pastry" of pottery production.

The use of an opaque tin glaze is one factor that distinguishes faïence from other types of pottery...pieces made by this process were known as faïence in France, Spain, Germany, and Austria; in the Netherlands, they were called Delft; in England, the term was Delftware; and in Renaissance Italy, such pieces were called maiolica...not to be confused with majolica, that's actually a trade name of the Minton pottery in England for a Victorian-era product made using substantially different glazes and production methods.

The tradition of Quimper faïence production continues today. But much like the comparison of a Model T with a current Ford Motor Company product, today’s Quimper is very different from vintage Quimper. In many fields of collecting there is a line of demarcation; for Quimper pottery that line is World War II. Modern techniques and machinery introduced in the days after World War II resulted in the creation of a different product.  Vintage Quimper refers to pieces made prior to that time period; later production falls into the collectible genre.

Great little sink organizer!
Color: Black
This is a lovely addition to my kitchen sink to handle all of my dishwashing tools. And I really like the DE base to catch all the drips and water drainage. The separator in the middle is moveable so you can determine how big or small you want the partitions. It was packaged very nicely and came with stick on feet to protect your countertops or sink edge. Highly recommend if you were looking for something this functional.

Great and Practical Organizer — Keeps My Sink Area Neat
Color: Black
I bought this HOKEMOM kitchen sink organizer to keep my sink area tidy, and it has worked perfectly. It’s compact yet spacious enough to hold my sponge, dish soap, brushes, and other kitchen essentials. The drip tray is especially useful because it prevents water from pooling and keeps everything dry and clean. The material feels sturdy and durable, and it doesn’t look like it will rust easily with daily use. Since I placed it on my sink, the whole area looks much more organized and clutter-free. Simple product, but extremely functional!

Game changer
Color: Black
This kitchen sink organizer has been a game changer for my countertop! It’s sturdy, well-made, and fits perfectly next to my sink. The multiple compartments are ideal for keeping sponges, scrub brushes, dish soap, and even scrub pads neatly organized and within reach. I was able to clear up so much clutter around my sink area it looks so much cleaner and more functional now. I love the rust-proof design and the drainage holes on the bottom that keep everything dry instead of sitting in water.

This sink organizer with sponge and brush holder is the size I was looking for. The non-slip, drain-free base keeps everything dry and in place. Having my sponges and brushes within easy reach makes the sink area much more organized, and it fits perfectly without taking up too much space I like the quality. It has genuinely made my kitchen feel tidier and more efficient.
