A history of Bordeaux craftsmanship. The publication of a new book on the fine porcelaine of Bordeaux was the perfect pretext for organizing this exhibition devoted to the decorative arts that are so cherished in this city of Aquitaine. The largest manufacturers have contributed to the show, as well as those of Lahens et Rateau, David Johnston and Vieillard et Compagnie. The legacy of pieces donated by these manufacturers since 1970 has served as the starting point for this show. Additional donations have expanded the collection, providing a thorough overview of the ceramics production of Bordeaux.
