[QUOTE="KylieS, post: 4276066, member: 22292"]Hello I'm new here and hoping for some help with a local French pottery problem. I've been 'brocanting' here in SW France for the past 3 years. Along the way I've picked up several pieces of pottery that look to be Quimper by design, but which don't bear any marks at all. One of the first pieces (inherited when I brought my house here) has Meyssac pottery painted on. It's definitely made for a tourist market locally. There's a possibility it could be the same pottery. However the glazes are really different and the subjects too. Is it possible to have unsigned Quimper? And where were the fakes being produced? If it's local to me I might have my answer... Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. And BTW I've only paid a few euros at most for each piece so don't worry about disappointing me ;) Thanks so much!
