Since its inception, the Faïencerie de Pornic has produced dozens of different sets created by stylists coming from all walks of life. Such as the great Petit Breton classic

Traditionally decorated with a handwritten name, the first Petit Breton was born in 1950, under the brush of Raymond Cordier, Then head of workshop.

Technically called CEB (for Blue Spongy Tailpiece), it was originally entirely hand painted. As the little man tended to flourish in winter and thin in summer, the use of tampon, then chromo, soon stabilized his silhouette. (Note this is a more recent chromo technique)
