Centerpiece vase / cachepot in hand-painted Paris porcelain, made in the 1950s. Ø 18 cm, h 14 cm. Paris porcelain, also known as "Vieux Paris," is a type of porcelain produced in and around Paris between the late 18th and 19th centuries. Porcelain production in Paris began around 1770, with the emergence of numerous independent manufacturers. The absence of a dominant royal manufactory, like in Sèvres, led to a wide variety of styles and decorations. Paris porcelain is known for its hard paste, its whiteness, and its fineness. Decorations range from neoclassical motifs to romantic scenes, with great attention to detail. Productions include dinnerware, decorative objects, statues, and vases.
