At the time, Lorraine being indeed an independent state, France levied heavy taxes on goods imported from there, reason why Jacques Chambrette established as early as 1758 an additional factory in Saint-Clément, Meurthe-et-Moselle, only seven miles away, but located on French territory to escape those duties.

Jacques Chambrette Senior initially started the first fine pottery works in Lorraine in 1711.
It was there that a sister company of the Luneville Faience manufactory was founded by Jacques Chambrette in 1758.
