(18th and 19th Centuries )
Deck was France's most innovative and influential ceramist during the 19th century. A native of Alsace, on the German border, he came to Paris in 1851 and began working for a stove-maker. By 1858, he had established his own kiln and workshop, which became famous for earthenware brightly glazed in various exotic and historical styles.
