Starting in around 1804, Francois Fourmaintraux started his own pottery in Desvres, and, later, copied the popular products from Quimper, Moustiers and Rouen.
However, it appears that it was Charles Fourmaintraux (1863-1900) who made Desvres one of the most important earthenware centres in Northern France, producing all types of decorated earthenware. Serving pieces like these were commonly seen in French country kitchens.
