The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Desvres faience is a style of tin-glazed earthenware originating from the northern French town of Desvres, known for hand-painted regional designs, heraldic crests, and motifs inspired by traditional French folk art.

Traditional faience is crafted from earthenware clay coated in an opaque white glaze containing tin oxide, which provides a glossy ground for hand-applied polychrome pigments prior to a final kiln firing.

Authentic pieces typically display brushwork variation from hand painting, maker marks or initials painted on the reverse, subtle glaze crazing, and traditional motifs such as regional figures or provincial coats of arms.

Display the dish vertically on a plate stand atop a sideboard, place it within an open display cabinet, or mount it as part of a curated gallery wall to add colour and historic character.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid prolonged immersion in water or exposure to chemical cleaners, as moisture can penetrate fine cracks in the tin glaze and compromise the earthenware body.
