History of the Foëcy (or Foecy) factory: few pieces are known today for its early production.
The Foëcy factory, founded in 1818 by Jean-Louis Richard, was part of the movement to develop provincial porcelain centers at the beginning of the Restoration. Established in the Cher region, where raw materials and fuel were readily available, the company got off to a difficult start, like many others during this period of economic upheaval following the fall of the Empire. Despite these constraints, the factory succeeded in producing high quality hard porcelain, fully in keeping with the taste of the time.
Although it was produced at a later date, the style of this porcelain is very close to that of Paris porcelain, to the point of being frequently confused with that of Parisian manufactures. This relationship is reinforced by the fact that the Foëcy factory opened a decoration workshop in Paris, at Passage Violet, no. 5. This sales and finishing outlet, designed to attract Parisian customers, helped to blur the boundaries between provincial and Parisian production.
