Pierrette Perrin

Pierrette Perrin (died 1794), was a French industrialist. After the death of her husband Claude Perrin in 1748, she developed his company in Marseilles into one of the biggest faience factories in France, with export internationally to the Middle East, the West Indies and Latin America.[1] Her factory came to be known as Veuve Perrin ("Perrin Widow") after her.
