Historical Note:
Founded in 1790, Sarreguemines pottery has a rich heritage of producing fine earthenware. Despite early challenges during the French Revolution, the company flourished under the guidance of Paul Utzschneider and later Alexandre de Geiger, who introduced innovative decorating techniques and expanded the company’s reach. The factory became famous for its ceramic tiles, even supplying tiles for the Paris Metro. Today, Sarreguemines pieces are highly sought after by collectors and admired worldwide for their vibrant and colourful designs.
