Discover the Legacy of Thulin Pottery: A Fusion of Artistry and Innovation
Nestled in the heart of Mons, just across from the historic Saint-Martin Church, the Thulin pottery factory boasts a rich heritage dating back to 1887. This celebrated establishment was born out of the vision of industrialist Victor Ducobu-Decaudin, who transformed a former sugar refinery into a thriving pottery factory. With cutting-edge facilities for its time—including three coal-fired kilns and a steam engine—the factory set a new standard in craftsmanship and production.
After Victor Ducobu’s passing in 1897, his entrepreneurial legacy continued through his children. Renamed Faïencerie de Thulin-A. Ducobu et Cie, the factory was expertly managed by Arthur Ducobu until 1918, and later by his sister, Victoria Legay-Ducobu. Under Victoria’s leadership, the company transitioned into a public limited company in 1920, cementing its place as a major player in the ceramics industry.
In 1923, the company evolved into the Société Anonyme des Faïenceries de Thulin, with an initial capital of 450,000 francs, which grew to 600,000 francs by 1924. The factory flourished between the World Wars, employing 70 to 100 skilled artisans who crafted exquisite pottery for both domestic and international markets, including Paris, where distribution was handled by the renowned Eugène Val Faubourg Saint Martin.
Exquisite Designs, Timeless Appeal
Thulin pottery is celebrated for its wide range of products, from durable, brown ovenproof tableware branded Tellurite to elegant decorative items in the Art Deco style. These include vases, planters, jugs, smoking sets, mantelpieces, and unique trinkets. Each piece is a testament to fine craftsmanship, made from cast earthenware and adorned with vibrant glazes and colored enamels that enhance its beauty and durability.
A Legacy of Adaptation and Innovation
The company’s commitment to innovation was evident throughout its history. By 1947, its capital had grown to 3,000,000 francs, enabling further investment in modernization. In 1955, the factory replaced its coal-fired kilns with state-of-the-art electric ones, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency. However, as competition intensified in the 1960s, challenges arose, and the company faced increasing financial pressures.
Own a Piece of History
Today, Thulin pottery remains a symbol of timeless design and artisanal excellence. Each piece tells a story of innovation, resilience, and beauty, making it a coveted addition to any collection. Whether you’re drawn to its functional tableware or decorative treasures, Thulin pottery is more than just ceramics—it’s a connection to a proud legacy of craftsmanship that continues to inspire.
