Cerenne is a ceramics workshop founded by Charles René Neveux in Vallauris in 1943. Reaching its peak in the 1950s, it produced both utilitarian pieces and works of art and welcomed many designers into its ranks, including Pierre Rinaudo, who worked there from 1955 to 1959, the year the workshop was sold. After the sale, the studio remained in operation until 1984.
