Catalogue Note
Fils d’un faïencier de Nantes où il fit ses débuts, Jacques Fourmy (1757-1832) travailla Rue de la Pépinière puis pour la manufacture de Sèvres. Durant cette période, il fut reconnu pour son talent technique, développant notamment ce qu’il nommait les hygiocérames, et remporta des médailles lors des Expositions nationales de l’Art de l’Industrie et à l’institut national des Sciences et des Arts. En 1813, il installa sa propre manufacture à Andenne, dans les Vosges.
