The Thulin pottery factory near Bergen was established in 1887, opposite the Saint-Martin church in the city center.
It was installed by industrialist Victor Ducobu-Decaudin in a former sugar refinery. Thanks to significant capital, he transformed the buildings and introduced three coal-fired ovens and a steam engine.
Victor Ducobu died in 1897, and his two children became owners. The company name is Faïencerie de Thulin-A.Ducobu et Cie. It was run by Arthur Decobu until 1918, and after his death, by his sister Victoria Legay-Decobu. She transformed the company into a joint-stock company in 1920.
Upon the death of Victoria Decobu, the company was liquidated; the Société Anonyme des Faïenceries de Thulin followed in 1923. The capital was set at 450,000 francs and then increased to 600,000 francs in 1924.
Between the two world wars, the factory employed 70 to 100 workers. It managed to sell its products in Belgium, but also in Paris, where a reseller, Eugène Val Faubourg Saint Martin, established distribution.
The offered products are numerous: brown ovenproof dinnerware called Tellurite; fancy objects in Art Deco style: vases, planters, jugs, smoking sets, mantels, and various trinkets.
These objects are made by casting fine earthenware and coating them with glazes or colored enamel.
In May 1947, the capital was increased to 3,000,000 francs; the factory was modernized in 1955 by replacing the coal-fired ovens with electric ones. However, competition was fierce in the 1960s, and the financial statements turned negative.
