At this link: Beauce Ceramics Collection
I found this "Maman" ceramic cup by Beauce at the local "Sally Anne" shop in Sackville N.B. Sweet find... just a few dollars. More recently I also found the same cup on ebay selling for $40, amazingly. Invest in vintage creations... and history by thrifting for goods in the "reusing" economy. Save money!

Along with the Montreal School of Furniture and the School of Sculpture in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli, the Beauce School of Ceramics left its mark on Quebec history. This innovative project, initially aimed at slowing rural exodus and combating unemployment in this agroforestry region, is in fact a reflection of a Quebec society that was constantly evolving throughout the 20th century.
The Beauce ceramics collection at the Musée de la civilisation covers all periods of the company's production, from its more artisanal beginnings in 1940, through the industrial era of the 1950s and 60s, to the company's closure in 1989. It represents the most significant ceramic production in Quebec during the 20th century.
Guests
- Guy Toupin, curator in charge of the collection
- Richard Dubé, private collector and co-author of the book Céramique de Beauce
- Véronique Martel, ceramicist and professor at the Maison des métiers d'art de Québec"
