Niderviller pottery, Historical earthenware factory in Niderviller, France

The Niderviller pottery factory creates tin-glazed earthenware and porcelain pieces with decorative elements featuring flowers, birds, and landscape patterns in multiple colors.

Founded in 1735 by Mathias Lesprit, the factory experienced different ownership periods under Baron de Beyerlé, Count de Custine, and Lanfrey, each bringing distinctive manufacturing approaches.

The factory's production reflects French ceramic evolution through three main periods, from traditional faience to innovative trompe l'oeil designs and industrial manufacturing methods.

The establishment maintains records of its historical pieces in several museums, including the Louvre, Sèvres-Cité de la céramique, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

During the Lanfrey period from 1790 to 1827, the factory developed specialized techniques for creating optical illusion effects on ceramic pieces.
