    • Nesmy pottery is a renowned traditional French craft, located in the Vendée department.


      Since its foundation in 1857, it has preserved and passed on a unique know-how through the generations, the 5ᵉ to date. Nesmy pottery stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship, made from local clay.

      Nesmy pottery creations include utilitarian and decorative objects, such as vases, bowls, plates and dishes. Each piece is shaped by hand, often on a potter's wheel, and features elegant forms and meticulous finishes. The potters use traditional throwing techniques, and you're welcome to come and discover this wonderful craft.


      Nesmy pottery is famous for its typical little flower, but there are other collections to discover too. Nesmy pottery is not only a testimony to the region's craft history, but also a living example of the continuity of traditional craftsmanship in the modern world.

    Great visit - visite tres agreable We had such a lovely time going around the pottery in Nesmy. The lady showed us round and explained the history of the place as well as the process and different stages of making pottery, from having the clay delivered (clay with sand and other impurities) to the finished products. The potter gave a demonstration, we also saw how pots are glazed and painted/ decorated. You can order pots /bowls etc with your choice of inscription or pattern. They also sometimes do sessions where you can decorate your own pot or bowl, and of course you can buy a packet of clay to have a go at modelling clay at home. It is a lovely place, very friendly, no pressure to buy although of course the temptation is great. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

    We did a filming discovery workshop (half day) in the morning, and it was incredible. Time goes by really fast. The atmosphere is great. We took advantage of a break to visit the pottery and the shop. It is also possible to do a modeling workshop. Very friendly owners and employees. I recommend with your eyes closed.
