BiographyTin-glazed earthenware factory in Marseille, France. Veuve Perrin is named after Pierette Candelot, widow of Claude Perrin; and head of the concern from 1748. The factory used the 'petit feu' technique [using colours painted over the glaze fired at lower temperatures than the so-called 'grand feu' high-temperature colours of cobalt-blue and manganese] to decorate its pieces. Naturalistic flowers and insects became a speciality of the factory. https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/term/BIOG153425 accessed 10/29/2020
