The western-most part of the continent of Europe, this is a 1683 map of Brittany. Quimper is located to the left of center, above a small island and noted with its name at that time...Quimper-Corentin.

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.

Tasty sugar free treat!
My sister is about to begin chemotherapy and her oncologist shared that hard sugar free candies that contain xylitol would be very helpful with the dry mouth chemo is likely to create. I ordered these for her and she says they are delicious! Good natural fruit flavor…tasty for anyone who wants a better quality, healthier (in moderation) sweet treat now and then. Arrived promptly and container was undamaged.

They are yummy!
I prefer the drops instead of the lolipops. I just love the flavors and no sugar or artificial coloring.

It helps with dry mouth!
These really help with dry mouth and the flavors taste good. It doesn't come in a plastic container like the picture which was disappointing. And it is a little expensive but it is a good variety but I do think it would look better in the box shown here instead of in a box. I poured in in another bag.

Less flavor than the pops. Very disappointing.
I bought these after trying the lollipop type of the same brand. Honestly? I was disappointed in the lack of flavor in yhe drops versus the lollipop style. The reason I purchased the drops was because I do not like dealing with the stick of the pop and just wanted the sucker part of the candy. I thought being the same flavors that they would have the same taste. They do not. The drops have much less enjoyable flavor and are quite bland in comparison to the lollipop style. I guess I'm sticking with dealing with the stick to get any good flavor. I also wish the variety of the flavors in both the Zollipops and Zolli Drops was more evenly distributed. The orange are my favorite flavor and the ratio is low compared to the pink or purple and less flavorful pieces. Anyway, just my 2 cents on the difference I noticed between the two variations of the same product.
