" maitrise de nimy was a meeting of artists from 1943 to 1950 that created very beautiful pieces. Eight young artists settled in 1943 in the buildings where nimy's earthenware is made, under the direction of raoul godfroid, director of the academy voor schone kunsten in bergen, in consultation with his friends jules moreau, director of nimy's earthenware fernande massart, georges destrebecq, louis waem, rené lemaigre, pierre monney, andré hupet, irene zacq and geneviève noe, which under the name of nimy mastery will be a pioneering movement aiming to elevate ceramics to the rank of art, in a context of production until then essentially industrial. The group was dissolved after the final closure of the nimy factory in 1950." In very good vintage condition, no fleas or cracks, with traces of age and wear. Some tiny micro manufacturing defects like a handmade part. Since my items are vintage, it means that they are aged and will have some wear and tear.
