Faïences de Castres is a type of earthenware produced primarily in the 18th century in the town of Castres, located in the Tarn region of France. While less renowned than the works of major centers like Moustiers or Nevers, these pieces possess a unique charm and quality worthy of attention. The workshops in Castres were known for their relatively simple designs, often influenced by Rococo style and floral motifs. The color palette was typically restrained, dominated by blue, with occasional accents of yellow, green, or manganese. Sourced from an estate in Aix-en-Provence. dimensions: 6.5"W x 5.5"D x 7.5"H Show more
