READ OUR BLOG! Origin Story of the Renowned 17th Century Poterie d'Anduze French Ceramic Vase from Provence
Located in Provence between the Mediterranean Sea and the foot of the Cévennes mountain range, the history of Anduze pottery dates back to the 17th century, when the region was inspired by Italian Medici vases and was originally designed to plant orange and lemon trees for gardens and orange groves around aristocratic properties. The history of Anduze French pottery can be traced back to a 17th century potter from Anduze, who traveled to Italy. While there, he was captivated by the elegance of the Italian Medici potteries. Upon returning to Anduze, the potter sought to recreate the beauty and grandeur of the Medici vases, adapting it to suit his own style. Over time, Anduze French pottery evolved into a distinct style, characterized by it's large, bulbous shape - often adorned with decorative motifs like garlands, flowers and fruits, and glazed with colors of Provence. Since the 17th century, the Anduze vase has become a symbol of French pottery, and is renowned worldwide for its unique blend of Italian inspiration and regional craftsmanship.
