Luneville

The Lunéville tableware factory , located in the Lorraine region of France, was founded in 1730 by Jacques Chambrette. The factory quickly gained fame for its refined faience and was even named Manufacture Royale de Fayence in 1749 by Stanislaus I, former King of Poland and Duke of Lorraine.

Lunéville was known for its colourful pottery, graceful floral motifs and later also Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences. In the 19th century, the factory came into the hands of Keller & Guérin (K&G) , who put the brand on the map worldwide. Their tableware was loved for its robust quality and charming decors such as Annie , Bleuet and Cycliste .

In 1922, the factory was taken over by Édouard Fenal, who also continued production in nearby Saint-Clément. The original Lunéville factory closed in 1981, but production lives on in Saint-Clément.
