How do I tell the age of Quimper pottery?
To tell how old your Quimper pottery is, experts state that it is necessary to research the glaze, technique, style and form of the piece. Cross-referencing maker's marks with information shared by trusted online resources can help in some cases, but many Quimper markings remained in use for many decades, so hallmarks alone usually aren't enough information to accurately assign a date. As a result, the simplest approach may be to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer evaluate your pottery. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Quimper pieces.
