Tableware Lot

In his workshop in Figeac, Fabrice Chassint makes high-flying knives. Fascinated by the object and passionate about aviation, the craftsman combines his two violins of Ingres in his creations. His Figeac is a pocket knife that reproduces a Breguet propeller: a wooden blade formerly manufactured by the Ratier company. The handle is hand-fitted and adjusted and is made of different materials. The Figeac is also recognizable by its notched wheel, which gives it the appearance of a propeller, and which allows the knife to be unfolded and closed with one hand.

Since 1924, this porcelain factory has been shaping French craftsmanship. In the village of Puy-l'Ėvêque, the company is an institution that houses 11 workers in 2,500 square meters of workshop.

Virebent porcelain arouses curiosity and opens its doors in a store and a small museum.

Stéphane Rossignol, a well-known figure in the village of Espédaillac in the heart of the Lot, has been at the head of the Auberge Beauville for nearly 25 years.
