Shoddy goods

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shoddy goods from Sars-Poteries , France. Made between 1802 and 1937.

Schinderware is a term that glassmakers in factories traditionally use to designate the work that, according to a traditional privilege, they are allowed to do on their own account during work breaks.

The shoddy goods used to serve both to earn extra income on the regular wage and to test and demonstrate one's own skills. Today, the term mainly stands for high-quality handcrafted "prestigious items" that are not made for everyday use.
