About the Item
This Faïence fine service "Fontainebleau", inspired by the atmosphere of the Fontainebleau castle, was manufactured by the French firm Creil & Montereau in the late 19th century.

Fontainebleau is one of the most famous royal Château::8th centuries of royal presence, 34 kings, 2 emperors, 1.500 rooms, Fontainebleau can still claim to be the most furnished palace in Europe surrounded by beautiful trees! Napoleon I called it, unreservedly, “the true home of kings”.
Creil & Montereau was created in 1840 with the fusion of two rival firms: Creil (created in 1774) and Montereau (created in 1745). This earthenware (and porcelain) manufactory was famous for its faïence fine (lead-glazed earthenware) and its English and Wedgwood inspiration and also for its technique of engraved image decal.
Creil & Montereau manufactured the famous "Rousseau" Service with the engravings created by Felix Bracquemond in 1866 and became renowned for its whole production, enough to be mentioned in Gustave Flaubert's book 'Sentimental Education' (in French : L'Éducation sentimentale)!
