Did You Know?

The Vincennes porcelain factory’s royally supported monopoly for the creation of porcelain that emulated the German style forced the Villeroy factory to relocate to Mennecy in 1748.

Description

As European porcelain production advanced over the course of the 18th century, factories borrowed designs and techniques from one another in order to remain competitive in the porcelain market. This plate’s painted composition with two birds in the foreground, may have been inspired by bird paintings produced at the Vincennes porcelain factory beginning in the late 1740s.
