Origin & Maker
Sarreguemines is a renowned French faience company that has been producing beautiful ceramics since the late 18th century. Founded in 1790 in the town of Sarreguemines, near the French-German border, the company quickly gained a reputation for creating high-quality earthenware and faience pieces. By the 19th century, Sarreguemines had become one of France’s leading ceramics manufacturers, producing finely decorated tableware, tiles, and decorative items.
Sarreguemines gained international recognition when they showcased their work at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1867, a world fair that celebrated industrial and artistic achievements. This exposure helped solidify the company's reputation for innovation and craftsmanship, with their decorative faience pieces becoming highly sought after across Europe.
The company is best known for its intricate Majolica designs, vibrant glazes, and detailed hand-painting. Sarreguemines continued to flourish through the 19th and early 20th centuries, producing everything from rustic faience to elegant Art Nouveau ceramics. Today, pieces from Sarreguemines are cherished by collectors for their rich history and exquisite craftsmanship, embodying the artistry of French faience.
