Gien fine earthenware pottery, established in the department of Loiret, in the XIX century, is one of the most famous and the most important in Europe.
Sa pâte blanche, et non marron, donne l’illusion de la porcelaine mais reste opaque à la lumière.
La manufacture a excellé dans l’art de l’imitation, et fabriqua des copies de pièces du passé à un prix accessible
