About St. Amand
Nicolas Desmoutiers established a Saint-Amand faience factory in 1705, followed by Pierre-Joseph Fauquez's separate factory in 1718. The Fauquez family continued until 1794; soft-paste porcelain was added in 1771. A later factory was managed by Dorchies and Herbo from 1810 to 1817, then by Maximilien Joseph de Bettignies from 1818, who developed Moulin des Loups. Dubois and Bloquiaux later took over.
The firm became Manufacture de Faïence et de Porcelaines in 1887 and opened Wandignies-Hamage in 1896. Société Amandinoise began in 1900; Ceranord followed in 1908. Later names included St Amand-Orchies-Hamage and Moulin des Loups-Hamage. Wandignies-Hamage closed in 1952, other factories by 1954 and Ceranord in 1962. Saint-Amand had several ceramic factories. Nicolas Desmoutiers founded an earthenware works in 1705 and Pierre-Joseph Fauquez established another in 1718.
The Fauquez family made tin-glazed earthenware and later soft-paste porcelain. A nineteenth-century works developed into Moulin des Loups. A new Wandignies-Hamage factory opened in 1896 using Saint Amand et Hamage Nord marks. Nicolas Desmoutiers founded one in 1705; Pierre-Joseph Fauquez established another in 1718. Later businesses developed at Moulin des Loups and Wandignies-Hamage. The Société Amandinoise de Faïencerie opened in 1900, and Ceranord was founded in 1908.
