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 know-how on the same site for almost two centuries. Tradition, but with a modern twist: cobs are not just for roofing, but have become sculptures.
