It is a fine white earthenware obtained by adding Feldspar and Kaolin in the paste up to 25%. it is also called half porcelain or opaque porcelain.
It appeared in France around 1770, but became really common with the advent of the industrial revolution, the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.
The main factories having had a production of Iron Earth are located in the North (earthenware of Moulin des Loups, Saint-Amand, Orchies, Hamage), in the Paris region (earthenware of Creil, Montereau, Choisy-le-Roi), in the East (earthenware of Sarreguemines, Clairefontaine).
The rarity and the beauty of the earthenware make it a timeless must-have of the art of the table. They are particularly beautiful when presented as a mismatched set: the mix of colors and patterns created by different manufacturers brings out their singular elegance.
