Important French Majolica Vase from the Cévennes (France) early 20th Century Anduze pots are an artisanal specialty of the Cevennes, a cultural region and mountain range in south-central France, located southeast of the Massif Central.

However, the success of this model was mainly due to the Boisset family's manufacturing boom at the end of the 18th century. The Boisset family, born and trained in the art of Anduze pottery...
