La poterie du Mesnil de Bavent

Poterie du Mesnil de Bavent is a craft enterprise located not far from the village of Bavent, in Normandy. It was founded in 1842 by Pierre Comptet, who began by making tiles and bricks. Over the years, the pottery has diversified and now manufactures a wide range of products, including finials, punches, ridge finials, decorative elements for facades, and small-scale animal subjects.

Poterie du Mesnil de Bavent has been perpetuating a regional tradition and the transmission of know-how on the same site for almost two centuries. Tradition, but with a modern twist: cobs are not just for roofing, they've become sculptures.
