CERAMICS IN VILLENAUXE-LA-GRANDE
For 150 years, from 1850, Villenauxe-la-Grande lived to the rhythm of “grey faces” clay miners and “white bottoms” ceramists. Perpetuating an exceptional know-how, generations of workers will carry the reputation of the city far.
Villenauxe clay is exceptional: it is an earthenware clay free of impurities and which cooks white at 1,280 degrees, whereas clays usually only remain white up to 900 degrees.
The “culs-blancs” and the porcelain biscuit
As early as 1853, Mr. Vital-Roux, head of ceramic works at the imperial factory of Sèvres, noted that a certain refractory clay from the region "would be of great use to the porcelain factory for making gazettes" (the gazettes are the cylinders inside which the porcelain pieces are fired).
The train allows the kaolin to be transported from Limoges; firewood is plentiful. In this buoyant context, business leaders will try their luck in Villenauxe with porcelain, a new production with a bright future.
The factory opened in 1856. Unlike Limoges, Villenauxe-la-Grande specializes in statuary art.
It was between 1860 and 1919, under the Letu and Mauger dynasty, also manufacturers in Isle-Adam (Seine & Oise), that the factory acquired size and fame.
