Joseph Landais French

Joseph Landais had close ties to the family of Charles-Jean Avisseau, who was credited with rediscovering the techniques of Palissy in the nineteenth century. After marrying Avisseau’s sister, Landais set up a workshop with Avisseau in Tours in 1843, only to end their joint enterprise three months later and establish rival firms. Like his brother-in-law, Landais based his career producing works inspired by Palissy, such as the example here showing a fish in the center of a fertile pond.
