Widows running potteries were not unusual, as potters tended to die young, perhaps because of the toxic materials they worked with. Pierrette Candelot therefore ran the manufacture on her own until her death in 1794, sometimes in partnership with other faience producers.French Faïence14th to 18th Century European Earthenware and Stoneware[]European CeramicsFrench Earthenware - Faïence1821545727FrenchVP” monogram in black and a green stroke
