Accolay: A Legacy of French Pottery

Their pieces, like this pitcher, were often displayed near popular tourist routes, showcasing their artistry to travelers.

Accolay was a pottery workshop established in October 1945 in the village of Accolay, in the Yonne department of Burgundy, France. It was founded by four artists — Louis Dangon, Slavik Palais, Rodet, and André Boutaud — former students of Professor Alexandre Kostanda, in a converted abandoned factory.
The workshop's early output of ceramic buttons and jewelry grew rapidly; in 1948 it shifted toward larger decorative ceramics after Christian Dior ordered 300 of its ceramic buttons for his New Look collection. The workshop remained active until 1992.
