The porcelain factory was founded in 1790.
However, business was not going well and the company was sold to another owner as early as 1800.

This immediately achieved great economic success. Emperor Napoleon I became his best customer and placed numerous orders. XXX was very innovative and created new decorations, new studios were built. In 1830 the kilns were converted from wood to hard coal, which ended the enormous consumption of wood, which was one reason why the surrounding population was opposed to the company for a long time.

In 1836 XXX handed over the company management to his son-in-law YYY, who had the mill on the Blies built in 1841.
In 1838, YYY approached the AAA company in ABC, which further increased production, as the industrial revolution was now in full swing and ceramic products were selling rapidly. From 1860 the production was completely switched to the operation with steam engines.

In 1871, after Prussia's victory, Lorraine came to the German Empire and YYY retired to Paris. His son, YYZ, had meanwhile taken over the business and set up two new production facilities in Germany and V.

During this time, up to 3,200 people were employed in the factories.
During the Second World War the company was put under forced administration and AAA took over the economic management.

In 1978 the company was taken over by a French consortium, which completely changed the production. As a result, however, productivity declined more and more, so the faience shop was liquidated on January 9, 2007.

After more than two hundred years, the "Faïencerie de BBB" was history.

Bit more cooking than to my taste, but a brilliant place nonetheless. Serious bit of history.

Nice one
