Souvenirs de vacances

A sign in Limoges, a town famous for its porcelain


And the city's huge kiln, four des Casseaux (about the size of a two storey house ) that required 76 employees, of whom 16 men just to fuel the fire with wood. Of course it is not used anymore.

Rococo decorations

Plates for a famous Parisian bistrot, "La Coupole".



We visited another place famous for its ceramic arts, the very pittoresque Saint Jean de Fos, in the south of France. It's a medieval circulade, meaning the streets were built in circles around the center of the village.

A ceramic mailbox =)

And two little bowls by Sylviane Bernheim that I bought there:
