Rouen bust of Apollo, c. 1730

... that after 250 years of production, the Rouen faience industry (example pictured) was brought low in the 1790s by competition from English creamware? Source: "In Rouen, Masséot Abaquesne established one of the earliest faience workshops in 1526." - Met Museum. The article's main source for the last bit is online, but in French.

Comment: The original article has been split after expansion, with Rouen porcelain covering that (the great majority of the original article). See also Template:Did you know nominations/Rouen porcelain.

5x expanded by Johnbod (talk). Self-nominated at 23:28, 20 April 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Long enough (5x expansion). New enough. Inline citations throughout. AGF on the citations. Well written. Neutral. Hook is interesting. Hook's main source is in French, so AGF again. Still needs a QPQ. Hybernator (talk) 21:35, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ done, GTG per my review above. Hybernator (talk) 22:55, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
