| Place of origin |
Pierre-Adrien Dalpayrat (1840-1910) was born in Limoges. He was a very experienced maker by 1889 when he set up in Bourg-la-Reine, near Paris. There he collaborated with other makers but also, with his wife and three sons, he ran what was effectively a small family workshop. Like several of his contemporaries, Dalpayrat aimed to make reasonably priced artistic stoneware with coloured glazes. A highly commercial maker, working at this date with (Mlle) Adèle Lesbros & cie, he perfected a rich red glaze known as Rouge Dalpayrat.
