When silver was reclaimed by Louis XIV and melted for war, Moustiers’ decorative faïence (glazed earthenware) graced the dinner tables of Europe’s palaces. Today, each Moustiers' 15 ateliers has its own style – from representational to abstract. Antique masterpieces are housed in this little museum, adjacent to the town hall. Village galleries sell new pieces; working ateliers are down the hill – ask the tourist office to direct you to the meilleurs ouvriers (French government–listed master craftspeople).
