About the Pont aux Choux White Pattern
The rice-grain relief on Pont aux Choux comes from a Paris manufactory founded in 1748 near the market gardens of the boulevard Saint-Antoine, where cabbages grew beside a bridge that gave the factory its name. Thomas Hall, Gien's founder, bought Pont aux Choux and its pattern in 1819, two years before opening Gien. See the whole Gien Pont aux Choux White collection.
