| Description |
The Faïencerie Longchamp was inaugurated
and
begun being active in 1833, on the site of an
earlier tile manufacture.
Based on the dexterity of it's employees and
on
the quality of it's designs, the fabric became
increasingly important at the point of
employing
in 1879, 130 women and 171 men.
The golden age of Longchampp Ceramics
lasted
until the early 80s, then the firm passed to
several other ceramic industries, Villeroy and
Boch in particular (1990-1997), and gently
declining, until it's its effective liquidation in
2009.
The present vases are of the series "Persan",
inspired by Persian decorative patterns and are
to
be dated in the interwar period.
