Their names are found in different museums, displaying ancient signed vases. These vases were used to embellish rich residences: oranges and lemons trees were very often planted and put under cover at the time of the first colds.

The legend tells that a potter of Anduze having been to the fair of Beaucaire saw one of those typical Italian Médicis vase, embellish of flowers, fruits and garlands. Back home he felt as getting some inspiration from this vase. Plausible history Beaucaire being, under the ancient regime and until the end of the XVIII century, the entrance to the Cévennes, Anduze been the door at the crossroads of the Provence and the Massif Central.Thus would be born this original potter art, where the prodigality Florentine is tempered by the rigor "Cévenole".
