The Société Céramique (Maastricht: de Zjèrremik) was a pottery factory in the Dutch city of Maastricht, which operated independently from 1863 to 1958 and then for several decades as part of N.V. Sphinx-Céramique and N.V. Koninklijke Sphinx. The company's name lives on in the name of the Céramique district, which arose on the 23-hectare industrial site after most of the factory buildings were demolished. The Avenue Céramique, the district's main street, and the Centre Céramique, which houses a collection of Maastricht pottery, are also reminders of the company. See less
