ABOUT BAYEUX PORCELAIN - GOSSE PERIOD 1849-1878 - The story of the Bayeux porcelain factory is of a long industrial adventure which developed over a period of 150 years. In 1812, Pierre Joachim Langlois and his wife acquired the buildings of the former Benedictine convent in Bayeux, which had been confiscated during the Revolution. This marked the beginning of the Bayeux porcelain factory. In 1849, when the factory was sold at auction, François Gosse was the sole bidder. Bayeux porcelain from the period 1855-1879 can be identified by the signatures “GOSSE/Bayeux”, “G/Bayeux” and “Bayeux”. The decoration evolved from oriental influences towards the prevailing use of a vegetal motif inspired by apple blossom. This was highly successful and became the main style of decoration from 1870 onwards, under the direction of Paul Gosse.
