From the internet: The Sarreguemines Faience factory was started in the Lorraine region of France in 1790 by three tobacco merchants. In 1800, the factory was acquired by Paul Utzschneider, who along with Alexandre de Geiger, developed the pottery into a formidable business. By the 1900's Sarreguemines had developed into one of the largest potteries in Europe. During World War II, the company was sold to Villeroy & Boch of Mettlach and finally closed its doors in 1983.
