[QUOTE="Jo Taylor, post: 48714, member: 372"]I'm not far from Bavent... The pottery is most famous for its roof ornaments - "[I]épis de faitages[/I]". Here are some images: [URL]https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=faitages&biw=1576&bih=944&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=EQATVZCXH8TV7Qba7oHQDw&ved=0CCUQsAQ#tbm=isch&q=epis+de+faitage+bavent[/URL] Your rabbit was probably intended to sit on a roof, you see a lot of pottery animals like that around the area! It's definitely "[I]Modèle déposé[/I]" - like a trademark. They are still in business, here's their website with a history page and a lot of pictures - there is a button to click for the English version which is better than the Google translate given above: [URL]http://www.poterie-bavent.com/[/URL] (They are expensive.
