About this document

History of French Porcelain by Đức Trí Nguyễn is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes the history of French porcelain from the 17th century to present day. It discusses how the French initially developed soft-paste porcelain to imitate Chinese hard-paste porcelain in the late 1600s. By the 1760s, kaolin deposits were discovered near Limoges allowing French factories like Sèvres to take the lead in European porcelain design. French styles were then exported and imitated worldwide for their quality and design dominance until at least 1830.
