[Pharmaceutic earthenware of South-West France]

Medical school and pharmacists renown, the potters presence (traditional work of Languedoc region, rich in clay), financial support from Languedoc governors that De Montmorency, can explain the pharmaceutical earthenware of XVIth century. The workshops of Nîmes, Montpellier or Narbonne are along the first primary centers of this topic. It's interesting to note in this area, the crossing of Spain and Italia. This give the production originality that was disseminate by Beaucaire trade fair. But the lack of sign up on "albarelli", on pots, let a doubt about their original workshop source.
