Dieulefit, a village in the Drôme department of southeastern France, has a long-standing tradition of ceramic production dating back to the 18th century. Known for its high-quality faience, Dieulefit ceramics are traditionally glazed in vibrant green or yellow ochre, often accented with a dark brown border. The industry thrived due to the abundant local clay and the skills passed down through generations of potters, producing both utilitarian and decorative pieces that are highly sought after.
