The pottery adopted its name from the town of Quimper where potter Jean Baptiste Bousquet built his kilns in the Quimper area of Locmaria in 1685 and was given a royal manufacturing license by King Louis XIV. Bousquet is credited with being the founder of "Quimper Pottery". His firm was known as HB Quimper.
