During the first half of the eighteenth century, Rouen on the river Seine in Normandy, northern France was a major centre of faience production in Europe
with up to fourteen manufactories operating simultaneously.
The city’s production of faience was initially influenced by the fashionable monochrome blue decoration developed in Nevers and Delft, it is typified by
borders imitating embroidery, called lambrequins.
