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.
Its white, as opposed to brown, paste gives the illusion of porcelain but remains opaque to light.
The factory excelled in the art of imitation, and reproduced pieces from the past at affordable prices.
