Founded in 1849, the Montjovis manufacture was built on the hill bearing the same name alongside eleven other porcelain manufactures. Under Napolean III, it became famous for its technically complex works. This industrial “tout de force” mainly resides in achieving the harmony of colors resulting from years of research, opening the way to infinite combinations of fade-resistant decorations still used today by porcelain makers. The Montjovis kiln is the only one left today and it stands on the original location of the Raynaud manufacture.
