La Faïencerie De La Nouvelle Orleans: French Colonial Faience Production In New Orleans, Louisiana
Author(s): Thurston Hahn III
Year: 2018
Summary
Archaeologists invariably blame the French for all of the ceramics laying about South Louisiana colonial period sites, even those dating to the Spanish colonial period. But were the ceramics actually made in France? Could they have been manufactured locally? One Spanish period redware kiln has already been examined archaeologically in St. James Parish. Indeed, not only did potiers, or makers of redware, work in the French colony of La Louisiane, so too did faïenciers. This paper presents ongoing research documenting faience production in New Orleans, Louisiana, between 1728 and 1732+ and its potential archaeological implications.
