Strasbourg Faience

Meissen(hardpaste) and Vincennes/Sevres(soft paste) dominated this field, both in technology and fashion. Sevres also made a hard paste body after 1772. Other companies copied their paste and their styles. The most well known are Vienna; Chantilly and Mennecy in France, and Doccia in Italy. At this time porcelain was more expensive than gold and was used by the nobility and wealthy to ornament their homes, to use as gifts and to make elaborate tea and dinner services. | These wares range from simple utilitarian pots to luxurious display items. Earthenware such as Italian Maiolica, Delft and French Faience was coated with a white tin-glaze as a ground for decoration in blue & white and multicolors. The designs followed the contempory fashions in the decorative arts: Classical Renaissance, Chinoiserie and Rococo. Fired at low temperatures these wares were fragile and the rims chipped easily with use. Tin-glazing ended c.1825. |
