LUNÉVILLE FRANCE FAIENCE is a renowned French pottery company founded in 1730. This 8 ½” SERVING BOWL is a rare find, featuring colorful strawberries and leaves in a transferware glaze. With a stamped mark and an embossed stamp on the bottom, it dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century.
The bowl is in wonderful antique condition. There are a few very tiny nibs and light crazing, but nothing that would not be expected in pieces of this age. I’ve done my best to show the condition of the bowl in the attached photos, but if you need additional photos, please ask.
Faience or Faïence: Faience is the name for tin-glazed earthenware pottery. The ware is variously called faience, majolica and/or delftware, depending on its origin. The glaze for faience earthenware includes the addition of tin oxide. Most often the earthenware is decorated with high-temperature colors. Unlike lead-glazed earthenware, tin-glazed ware is painted on a fired body that has been coated with a raw glaze material and fired at a lower temperature.
