The existence of the Jacques-Jeanneney pottery site in the pottery suburb of St Amand en Puisaye, is attested from the 1820s. In the 20th century, this place belonged until 1920 to the sculptor and ceramist Paul Jeanneney, who worked in particular for Rodin, then to the family of potters Jacques in 1943. Albert Jacques then his son Roger produced until the 1950s all the range of traditional pots of Puisaye some of which will remain in the dryers, after the abandonment of production , until 2000! Roger Jacques was born in 1920 died in March 2001, he learned to shoot in the pottery of his father Albert with Auguste Faure then he created his workshop in 1947 in the outbuildings of the castle. In addition to the traditional off-white culinary pottery, he created some very refined unique pieces. The color dominates much more often matte than shiny. We can discover pieces of beef blood, orange yellows and iron blues. After production ceased, the site remained as it was for five decades. The buildings obviously ended up deteriorating and the enormous oven was gradually colonized by vegetation but the tools and the pots patiently waited in the workshops and the dryers for someone to push the door again… In 2003 a big firing of the 1st to October 7 took place in the big oven. Obviously all this was possible after a huge restoration with the help of hard-working and passionate volunteers. In memory of its last two owners, the pottery took the name of "Pottery Jacques-Jeanneney". For the condition thank you for detailing the photos. Do not hesitate to zoom in.
