LUNEVILLE

Lorraine is a faïence land par excellence. This is the region where the density of pottery , small or large, is the largest. There are several reasons for this: the raw material needed for manufacturing is on site, water courses for energy, and clay benches for pulp and wood for kilns.
Moreover, the first manufactures settled at the beginning of the eighteenth century, thanks also to a favorable situation. France's war efforts forced Louis XIV to take a series of measures known as sumptuary edicts (1689 - 1699 - 1709), intended to bail out finances by melting precious metal dishes and cutlery. , essentially gold and silver. As St. Simon writes, "all that is great is earthenware" . This has had the effect, among other things, of giving a new impetus to certain production sectors, in particular faïenceries, which are thus experiencing a significant growth. Lunéville, at that time city of court, also benefited from this boom.
