The artist was trained at Sevres in Art Nouveau Japoniste techniques in ‘grès flamme' (stoneware with variegated flame-like glazes) which influenced Desvres to produce ceramics outside of the firm's usual production. Production was extremely varied and ranged from lamps and utility items to advertising, trophies and tiles. Fourmaintreaux collaborated with Fernand Léger, painter and potter who worked in Biot in the South of France. The association encouraged Fourmaintreaux to work in primary colours - reds, white, yellows on a black or white ground.

In 1853, Charles Pillivuyt decided to move his factory to Mehun-sur-Yèvre near the channel of Berry about 200 miles outside of Paris between Bourges and Vierzon. Pillivuyt made beautiful quality porcelain, according to artisanal traditions, using techniques that have not changed since the company was founded in 1818.

For as long as can be remembered, the province of Lorraine, on the eastern border of France, has been a region graced with rich sand and expansive forests. Supported by the abundance of these natural resources, the art of making glass flourished in this area. The glassworks of Saint Louis were originally known as Münzthal when they were founded in 1586. Almost two centuries later, in 1767, Louis XV granted the glassworks of Münzthal the honorable title of \"Verreries Royales\" and placed themBarware under the protection of his patron saint, \"Saint Louis.\" On the eve of the French Revolution, the House of Saint Louis was the first on the Continent to perfect the manufacture of lead crystal. In 1781, The Royal Academy of Sciences acknowledged the high quality of this crystal when they recognized Saint Louis as a Cristallerie. Saint Louis played a central role in crystal's golden age of the 19th century. The House's art revealed major technical and ornamental innovations: the master of color, the discovery of crystal opaline, the application of fine 24 karat gold, the development of new engraving and cutting techniques, and the production of the first millefiori paperweights and filigreed pieces. Each of these artistic dimensions remains present in the current collection. In the House's rich history, the 20th century has proven to be as illustrious as the previous three. Today, the master craftsmen of Saint Louis, as they have for over four hundred years, continue to blow crystal by mouth. Cutters and gilders shape and decorate each piece with their hands and thus each Saint Louis creation is unique. These exceptional artisans, who have perfected their talents under the tutelage of their grandparents, and who will in turn train their own grandchildren, are considered to be among the finest craftsmen in the world. Over the centuries, Saint Louis has been coveted by kings, emperors, heads of state and connoisseurs. Saint Louis is an integral part of French cultural heritage as it continues to blend a sense of tradition with contemporary relevance. Since 1995, the Cristallerie de Saint Louis has been part of the Hermes group, one of the world's most prestigious luxury brands, and one of the very few that has successfully retained its independence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Antique Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":2598694584349,"sku":"GL1842.1095.871","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2444\/7807\/products\/Saint_Louis_Liquor_Set_Decanter_Wine_Glasses_Cordials_2.jpg?v=1507922576"},{"product_id":"antique-french-sterling-silver-gilt-vermeil-coffee-tea-spoons-set","title":"Antique French Sterling Silver Gilt Vermeil Tea or Coffee Spoons","description":"\u003cspan\u003eSet for 12 antique mid-19th century French sterling silver coffee spoons or teaspoons.
