Brocante des Collectionneurs Saint Jean de Bretagne

The collectors' earthenware flea market

Organized in partnership with Le Patiau, a center for ceramic art and history, the collectors' flea market is dedicated to pieces from the former Saint Jean de Bretagne earthenware factory. The exhibitors, passionate collectors, offer for sale plates, dishes, vases, pitchers, and other earthenware objects formerly produced in the commune's workshops.

Saint-Jean-la-Poterie, cradle of Breton pottery

Saint-Jean-la-Poterie is the only commune in France to bear the name of its historic artisanal activity. Since the Middle Ages, the village has been renowned for its production of pottery and earthenware. Le Patiau, located in the heart of the village, perpetuates this memory by hosting an integration workshop through pottery decoration, an exhibition space dedicated to contemporary ceramics, and a room retracing the village's pottery history.

An event for earthenware enthusiasts

The Salle Pierre Glet, located at 20 rue des Frères Thébault, hosts a handful of specialized exhibitors who present authentic pieces from the Saint-Jeannaise earthenware factory. This is a rare opportunity to discover and acquire pieces that are often difficult to find, bearing witness to centuries-old artisanal know-how.
