* In 1585 Augustin Conrade, a native of Albissola Italy, set up his studio at the Logis Saint-Gildas in Nevers the first workshop of "white dishes pottery." Their style is so inspired by the famous Italian pottery to Biblical or mythological decorations that they will evolve by creating wavy funds. The seventeenth century with many factories had to give a new genre that was especially marked by the blue shades and solid white (white highlights decor and yellow on deep blue enamel decorations inspired by Persian). Then appear the many Chinese-inspired decor tiles of blue and manganese. In the eighteenth century, fashion is popular genre patronymic plates that prepare the way for revolutionary pieces. In 1875, Antoine Montagnon bought the Manufacture du Bout du Monde. He raised the artistic production in the last survivor of the old factories. He participated in major exhibitions of 1878 and 1889, which earned him the title of "Restorer of Earthenware in Nevers." Since then, four generations have passed on their know-how and trade secrets, perpetuating the art of pottery in NEVERS.
