After his death in 1805, his son martin de bruyn ran the earthenware factory, which he then passed on to his son denis de bruyn. It was antoine gustave de bruyn, son of denis, who settled in fives in 1864. Initially established on rue de juliers, he moved to rue de malakoff, before taking up residence on rue de l'espérance at number 22. This is the address where the earthenware factory was built. From 1887 onwards, the first “decorated slips” appeared from the de bruyn earthenware factory in fives-lille: flowerpots, pitchers, tobacco jars, but also planters and vases, mantelpieces, umbrella stands. And in 1889 de bruyn was awarded a medal at the universal exhibition in paris.a real treasure for the ceramics' collector. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
