It was in 1773 that jean baptiste locré bought his workshop rue de la fontaine au roi. He was born in 1726 into a wealthy family, the son of a textile merchant of saxon origin. By renting his land, he built his workshop and ovens in 1772. On july 14, 1773, he registered his mark in the form of two blue crossed arrows. In the same year, he joined forces with laurent russinger who became his second, mastering the technique of hard porcelain. In 1787, locré was ruined because of the costs of manufacturing. He sold it to russinger who moved it to build new workshops. Ruined too, russinger sold the factory to the pouyat family, but he remained at the head of production. The year 1810 marks the death of russinger and locré, gradually causing the bankruptcy of the factory. In 1820, the furnaces of the first workshops were extinguished. In 1825, jean marx clauss revived the factory in premises rented to alexandre dodé, russinger's son-in-law. The locré factory saw three generations of clauss before being taken over by achille bloch in 1887.
