Glazed earthenware was introduced from Italy to Nevers in the mid 16th century, and by the beginning of the 17th century, Nevers was the largest French pottery making centre. The town already had existing porcelain factories and the area was flush with clay deposits that could be used in pottery. This allowed the influx of Italian potters in Nevers to begin producing faience pieces. For the next 300 years, Nevers was the center for French faience manufacturing.
