An
exhibition presented by the Municipal
Archaelogical Department and the Cézanne Studio.
More
than, items and wrappers have been found: coins, medecines,
toilet products and articles, paints, writing instruments, clothing
and personal effects, food wrappers and above all crokery, with
a very representative sample of contemporary production:
faïence pottery from the norrthern part of France, the Côte
d'Or and the Lyon regions (Luneville, Sarreguemines and Digoin,
Saint-Amand Nord, Longchamp, Labrut Frères, Gien, Givors),
the Paris region (Creil and Montereau), and especially from Provence
(Vallauris and the Huveaune valley).
These
objects also remind us of the vital part played by Marsel Provence
in the revivial of the Moustiers workshops, and his close relationships
with a number of local faïence potters such as La Poussardière,
Louis Sicard and the Gastine sisters in Aubagne, Léon Sagy,
the master potter of Apt, and Marius bertrand of Varages.
