Why Seek Out the U&C Sarreguemines Period?

For antique enthusiasts and collectors, the vintage U&C Sarreguemines stamp is a guarantee of exceptional quality and artistic refinement. It was during this era that the factory perfected its transfer printing techniques on fine earthenware.

The excellence of Ironstone: This ceramic, enriched with feldspar and quartz, produces white, fine, extremely strong, and craze-resistant dinnerware (uncrazed earthenware).

Decorations of surgical precision: The motifs from the Utzschneider & Cie period are distinguished by the crispness of their monochrome lines (blue, green, red, or brown) and the poetry of their illustrations.

A solid collector's item: Owning a U&C Sarreguemines plate means possessing an authentic piece of history, traceable thanks to its engraved or printed mark on the base.
