Sarreguemines earthenware is a ceramic production that developed from 1790 to 2007 in the French town of Sarreguemines.
In two centuries, the small family industry born during the Revolution has come a long way. Many fans of these cheerful and colorful pieces are scattered all over the world. Paul Utzschneider, then his son-in-law Alexandre de Geiger and the latter's son, Paul de Geiger, a true one-man band, propelled the small town to the forefront of the earthenware industry.
Since the 19th century, Sarreguemines has offered a vast collection of earthenware, vases, flowerpots, murals, fireplaces, and more worldwide.
Present at all the 19th-century World's Fairs, Sarreguemines has won Awards of Excellence each time, and has established itself as a pottery that has survived the annexation of 1870-1918 by Germany and the destruction of the two World Wars.
