The Sinceny manufactory (sometimes St. Cenis) was a French producer of ceramics, especially faience, located in the village of Sinceny, Picardy, in northern France.[1]
The Sinceny manufactory was founded in 1713, when potters from Rouen and before from Nevers,[2] moved there to establish their own venture.[3] As a consequence, Sinceny ware copied Rouen ceramics to the point of being sometimes indistinguishable from it.[3]
