Sarreguemines France Antique, Made in France 1920s Chinoiserie Sarreguemines, a highly popular antique brand in France, was founded in 1784. Its excellent quality is said to have been loved by Napoleon. It was a small, family-run factory born during the French Revolution, but it advanced greatly over about 200 years and became a world-famous brand. The secret of its popularity lies in its designs that suit the times and its texture that has both taste and mood. Unfortunately, it went out of business in 2007, and can only be obtained now as an antique or vintage item. After its closure, its rarity increased, and its popularity further increased. It is a brand that many people are looking for at antique fairs. This is a Chinoiserie piece made in the 1920s. Influenced by the world's fairs held at the time, Chinoiserie and Japonisme ceramics became popular and were produced by many pottery kilns. On a base of soft cream-colored pottery, there are orange borders with crests and chrysanthemums, Western-style acanthus and arabesque decorations.
