It’s time for the first time! This year, the museum unveils the watercolours of the Porquier-Beau manufacture. Founded in 1773 by a worker of the Grande Maison HB, the factory joined forces around 1875 with the painter Alfred Beau. This collaboration between an artist and a Quimper pottery lasted more than fifteen years. It brought a new breath to the manufacture’s productions, a success that led the factory to multiply forms and decorations.
