Tableware

In Lorraine, you can lay a beautiful table entirely with regional craftwork, such as table linen (Le Jacquard Français, François Hans, Linvosges, Garnier Thiébaut), cutlery (Les Couverts Darney), crystal, pottery, china and enamelware (Niderviller, Lunéville St Clément and Sarreguemines, Emaux de Longwy, Emaux St Jean l’Aigle, Emaux Leclerc, Faïencerie des Récollets and Les Faïenceries de l’Argonne) – all fine examples of Lorraine know-how acquired over centuries.

tableware Lorraine china and earthenware first became popular in the 18th century. Lunéville (1724) and Saint-Clément (1757) were famous throughout Europe for their “chinoiseries” and their bright colours. Niderviller (1735) has become famous for the production of top quality groups and statuettes.

Dating from 1790, the large Sarreguemines factory was particularly well known for the production of majolica and Wedgwood (see the Moulin de la Blies mill, the Musée des Techniques Faïencières [Museum of China and Earthenware Techniques] and the winter garden at the Musée de Sarreguemines [Sarreguemines Museum]).

Longwy has a world-wide reputation for relief or crystal enamel, because of its rich historical and artistic past and continuing preoccupation with techniques, research and creative design.
