Palissy ware is a 19th-century term for ceramics produced in the style of the famous French potter Bernard Palissy (1510–90), who referred to his own work in the familiar manner as rustique ("in the rustic style"). It is therefore also known as Rusticware. Palissy's distinctive style of polychrome lead-glazed earthenware in a sombre earth-toned palette, using naturalistic scenes of plants and animals cast from life, was much imitated by other potters both in his own lifetime and especially in the 19th century. In this revival, pottery in Palissy's style was produced by Charles-Jean Avisseau of Tours, who rediscovered Palissy's techniques in 1843, his relatives the Landais family of Tours, Georges Pull of Paris, Maurice, and Barbizet. less
