Some useful information about the Clairefontaine earthenware factory:
In 1869, the establishment produces fine white earthenware, known as “opaque porcelain” or “Terre de fer”.
Around 1875, the arrival of a decorator from Sèvres, Victor Ameline, marked a period of expansion of production: opaque porcelains, barbotines, enamels, fine earthenware. The Clairefontaine faience factory was awarded a prize at the 1878 Universal Exhibition for its collection of majolica enamelware and an octagonal Indiana dinner service. Between 1876 and 1879, the factory supplied white earthenware (undecorated fired cookies) for the Nancy artists Charles and Emile Gallé.
