The Nevers manufactory (French: "Manufacture de faïence de Nevers") was a French manufacturing center for faience in the city of Nevers. The first factory was started around 1588 by three Italian brothers, who brought the majolica tradition with them.[1] A porcelain manufactury in Nevers was also mentioned in 1844 by Alexandre Brongniart, but little is known about it.[2]
It is at the Nevers manufactory that Chinese-style blue and white wares were produced for the first time in France, with production running between 1650 and 1680.[3] Chinese styles would then be taken up by factories in Normandy, especially following the foundation of the French East India Company in 1664.[3]
Various epochs characterize the production of Nevers[2]:
- 1600-1660: Italian style
- 1650-1750: Chinese and Japanese style
- 1630-1700: Persian style
- 1640-1789: Franco-Nivernais style
- 1700-1789: Rouen style
- 1730-1789: Moustiers style
- 1770-1789: Saxe style
- 1789: Decadence
