Anduze
is an ancient city located in the "CEVENNES MERIDIONNALES",
a region with spectacular landscapes, perfect climate and wonderful
crafts and traditions.
Potters settled in this city around the V
th century but it is only at the end of the XVI century that we
can trace back the bird of the renowned Anduze vase.
As the story goes, a cevenol potter saw an italian vase during
the BEAUCAIRE fair: the decorations were flowers, fruits and garlands.
It is said to have been a great source of inspiration for him.
Though a legend, it nonetheless remains highly plausible as BEAUCAIRE
was a market at crossroads between Provence and Massif Cental
untill the very end of XVIII century.
The spirit and rigor of this region
instilled in the Anduze vase a more rustic shape. They are genuine,
artisanal pots in which you can grow flowers, plants, even small
trees like orange or lemon trees.
