A small group of La Tène I/II painted pottery from Champagne has been examined in thin section, with the scanning electron microscope and by X‐ray diffraction in order to determine the production technology. The results have allowed the recognition of a group of vessels so closely related in respect of their typology, fabric, forming and firing technology and decorative techniques that they were probably the products of a single centre ‐ the so‐called 'Prunay workshop'. This workshop represented a departure from the established pottery‐making traditions of the region and was characterised by the skilful applications of new techniques, including standardisation of pastes, wheel‐throwing and 'negative' painting. It marks the beginning of a new and innovative pottery‐making tradition
