Luneville is in the North East of France about 90 kms from the German border.
In 1786 Sebastian Keller bought the bankrupt factory of Jaques Chambrette in Luneville. Around 1832 the son of Sebastian Keller, along with his son in law Guerin, became the owners. This resulted in the mark K&G.
Keller and Guerin gave new life to the ceramic factory by industrialising it in the 19th century.
Luneville and surrounding areas provided very skilful workers during this time.
The Keller and Guerin Luneville factory ceased production in 1981.
Mid century mark 1940-50
Late 1800s
Hi Marc, I have sent you an email so you can send me photos. I will see if I can help you.
bonjour,
I have a decent size (probably 100 pieces) collection of luneville (mostly k&g) dinner ware and pottery that I acquired from my grandmother and mother – both French women from Luneville, which is also where I was born – naturally I value my collection for what it is to me and my family, and hope to pass it down to my grandchildren. There is some variety in the markings on the pieces, some I’ve been able to ascertain the age of the pieces, but there are several that I can’t find a source. I am only trying to determine the approximate age of the pieces – not (necessarily) the value. I would be very grateful if you could take a look.
Merci beaucoup,

Hi Susan, I have sent you an email so you can send me some photos, generally ceramics are not expensive and are worth more to us for their beauty than their value.
I bought 4 K & G Luneville plates at a second hand store. They have fruit on them. I love them. Are they worth anything? I can send pictures.
Hi Ezuddeen, I have emailed you so you can send me a photo of your cup so I can try and find out more about it for you.
