A bit of history:
In the history of the Sarreguemines earthenware factory (1790-2007), stoneware production developed from the 1800s onwards, with pieces still present and visible at the Château de Fontainebleau and Trier Cathedral... It then became more popular, exploring various techniques and compositions to become a fairly significant production at the end of the 19th century, continuing into the beginning of the 20th century.
Stoneware is a hard-paste ceramic made of clay and sand, fired at a high temperature (1200/1300°C). This process results in natural vitrification, making it impermeable.
In Sarreguemines, polished stoneware was produced around 1800, imitating hard stones such as jasper, porphyry, and marble. Later, from 1827 onward, fine stoneware (copies of English Wedgwood productions) was produced, followed by black stoneware (known as Smearblack around 1837), brown stoneware (known as Terre d'Égypte) between 1820 and 1840, fine glazed stoneware, so-called Umbrian stoneware, so-called Tuscan stoneware, and finally, salt-glazed stoneware from the 1860s-80s.
