History

Founded in 1836 by Petrus Regout in Maastricht, the pottery grew to become one of the most significant industrial ceramic producers in the Netherlands. The firm adopted the famous Sphinx logo as its trademark around 1879, marking white granite and earthenware goods distributed across European and global markets throughout the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.
