Faience soft porcelain was created in Europe early in the 18th century by Louis Poterat, sieur de Saint-Etienne, a potter of Rouen in France. This beautiful soft coloured, warm milky white translucent earthenware, is traditionally decorated by foliated patterns and floral designs of typical French Rayonnant style, or ornamented by coloured designs in imitation of the old Chinese and Japanese porcelain.
