Origin and history

The Savoyard Pottery Museum in Evires is a monument located in the town of Evires, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This museum is dedicated specifically to the traditional Savoyard pottery, an emblematic craft of this Alpine region. Although its exact period of creation is not specified, it bears witness to the historical importance of ceramics in local daily and economic life.

In mountainous regions such as Savoy, pottery has long played a key role in both domestic and artisanal production for local markets. Museums dedicated to these know-how preserve and transmit these ancestral techniques, while providing an overview of the lifestyles and traditions of rural communities.
