French rustic pottery, Roux a ?

Please correct if not french or not rustic. Can anyone help with the last word(s) of the signature? Besides redware, what would this type of pottery be called? Region? Both pitcher and lid are signed.

 

It's Roux à something. It's like they deliberately tried to make it illegible!

 

It is "Roux a dieulefit" I think.

 

Typo:
dieulefit
roux a Dieulefit

 

It's very beautiful ceramic's

diou lou fet is Provençal dialect for Dieu le fit, which means "God has made it". a small Protestant town that gave shelter and hid away many Jewish children on their way from the south to the Swiss border. they were led by Swiss Protestant nurses that also organized a ratline form the concentration camps around Gurs up towards Switzerland.
the ceramics is nothing special, rather simple for everyday use.

 

and may I add. it's funny that we had ceramics here from around Anduze some time ago; same situation, protestant and on the same ratline. both places were at the start of the silk industry that was lateron prominent in Lyon and brought up to Switzerland by the Huguenot; chemical industry started with silk dye factories.

 

It seems to be Roux à Diouloufet

Thank you, esp. Malcolm and flipper, that must be where it is from. Fairly recent apparently unless they have a longer history than it appears. Thanks!

 

you don't understand any French, do you ?

 

Now, now, Fid!
Interesting history. And Diouloufet would be a regional/dialectical version of dieu le fit, eh?

 

what I said. Provençal for Dieulefit. not my fault when people that have no knowledge whatsoever of Southern French culture start to stress "Thank you, esp. Malcolm and flipper, that must be where it is from."
it's not "Roux à Diouloufet" but Roux à Dieulefit. I asked because it was obvious that "à" wasn't understood.
