Dieulefit means "God made it," but in this small, Provencal town, there is little evidence of a single deity at work. Rather, there are many inspired artisans at their wheels, creating pottery and ceramic accessories ranging from traditional country stoneware for everyday cooking and dining to striking contemporary ceramics for the serious collector.

One of the more prominent names in the region is that of the Mourre family, headed by Roger and Yvette Mourre, first generation potters who have been producing classic earthenware for nearly 48 years. Viewing the pottery-making process is more like peering over the artisan's shoulder than witnessing a formal demonstration. The reserved yet cordial Roger Mourre...
