The term Poterie d'Accolay is the production of a community of potters settled in the village of Accolay, in the Yonne department.
This production centre was created by four former students of Alexandre Kostanda. Active from 1945 to 1989, their pottery is distinguished by great technical inventiveness and extremely abundant production.
The potters' community exploited the proximity of the N6 by investing in the service stations to make them permanent exhibition places on the migration circuit of Parisian tourists. Their exhibition buildings became the obligatory stopover for holidaymakers in transit.
This form of marketing continued at the entrance to Vermenton until the factory closed in 1989. However, the creation of the Lyon motorway had for several years diverted the flow of tourists.
