The fine earthenware factory in Septfontaines
The introduction of transfer printing in the early 1820s made decoration faster and cheaper. Hand-painting rapidly declined before becoming practically obsolete after 1850. But this period still produced a diverse range of items ranging from black pastes that imitated Wedgwood products to botanical decorations and coloured enamel pieces known as majolica.
