Nicolas-Henri Jacobi along with his two partners established the first factory in 1790. Paul Utzschneider took over the factory in 1800. One of his best customers was Napoleon I. Utzschneider, then his son Alexander Geiger and the latter’s son, Paul de Geiger introduced the small city of Sarreguemines into the world of faience industry in the 19th century. The Sarreguemines Faience produced plates, vases, flowerpots, fireplaces and more. The factory was closed in 2007.

This plate is a piece of art which would display beautifully on a wall, bookshelf, or tablescape. NOTE: The last photo shows two similar plates by Parry & Vieille (France) featuring plums and pears that are also featured in my shop if you are looking for a trio to display.
