History and Craftsmanship

With the rise of industry from the 18th century onwards, a period of growth began in Dampierre-les-Bois, particularly through the Japy factories. In the Lafeschotte Valley, four Japy factories were built in the 19th century in the municipalities of Fesches-le-Châtel and Dampierre-les-Bois. The Lafeschotte factories produced iron goods, wooden furniture, coffee grinders, pumps, milk churns and enamelled plates. In 1835, the Lafeschotte du Haut factory was described as a “factory for the manufacture of wood screws”.

Events and Ceramics

In addition to local potters, six regional exhibitors took part in the Marché des Potiers held in Dampierre-les-Bois at the end of May. Visitors could discover ceramics in the form of cups, lamps, bowls and jewellery, as well as numerous decorative and practical objects.
