Pont aux choux white

The Pont aux Choux pattern refers to the factory of the same name, established in 1748 in Paris. Located on Boulevard Saint Antoine, it stood on former moats that had been converted into market gardens, where cabbages were cultivated. Access to the fields was via a bridge, hence the name Pont aux Choux. The rice grain pattern was developed around 1750 at this factory. In 1819, Thomas Hall, founder of the Faïencerie de Gien, acquired Pont aux Choux and the famous "rice grain" pattern.
