Sèvres Années 30 – Art deco exhibition at the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres

Famous for its beautiful crockery, the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres has new exhibition about the wonderful designs of the 1930s.


The Manufacture has always tried to stay modern, by its designs, techniques or materials, and the 1930s turned out to be a period of immense creativity that opened a lot of new possibilities, both in techniques and forms.

The new exhibition Sèvres Années 30 will be showing crockery, vases and statuettes, some of which have not been seen since their creation, to give an idea of the clean geometry and precision that was put to service in the creative experience.

And if you want to find out even more about the period, the 30s Museum is holding an exhibition called Sèvres Boulogne Billancourt, la céramique indépendante at the same time. Both are just outside Paris, but can easily be reached by metro or tram. Time to step back in time…
