The factory was founded in 1732, although some products carry 1610; neither date defines this mark’s use.
Country guide
Desvres is a French faience centre; marks can name a Fourmaintraux workshop or another local manufacturer.
A painted monogram, factory emblem and DESVRES or FRANCE wording can occur together. A decorator name is separate from the factory, and historic-style Rouen decoration can appear on Desvres wares.
Compare all initials and any sun or other emblem with the named workshop. A decorative style borrowed from another centre does not change the place named in the maker stamp.
