Guivre decoration - decoration "in the taste of Rouen" in Quimper
The guivre decoration is part of the repertoire of neo-medieval and heraldic ornamentation, representing a fantastic creature similar to a serpentine dragon, often treated in a stylised manner. This motif, already present in the Rouen faience tradition, was taken up and adapted by Quimper manufacturers from the XIXᵉ century onwards.
In Quimpe earthenware. This type of decoration falls into the category of pieces known as "in the Rouen taste". It bears witness to the major influence of Rouen models on Breton production, both in the heraldic-decorative compositions and in the polychromy and foliate frames.
