<h2>FRENCH FAIENCE</h2>: Decorative earthenware produced at various French potteries.
That of Saint Porchaire (q.v.) is one of the earliest, followed by the unique pieces of
Bernard Palissy (q.v., PART 6). Lyons, Nevers, Rouen, Marseilles, Paris and other places produced
admirable work.
<h2>FLAMBE</h2>: The term is applied to pottery or porcelain which depends for its decorative effect upon the cloudy or
shaded or splashed color of the glaze. The Chinese were the first to produce this decoration but it has been
dopted by both English and French potteries.
<h2>FONTAINEBLEAU WARE</h2>: At Avon, near Fontainebleau,
manufactured of faience as early as 1608. The production seems to have been mostly
small figures Palissy. Another pottery was at Belleville where Dresden models
and styles of decoration were copied.
