digital description: 


wall description: 
The first extensive manufactory of soft-paste porcelain in France was carried out at a factory at Saint-Cloud, near Paris.  The earliest porcelains were produced there in 1693, and the factory remained a significant one throughout the first half of the 18th century.  Bacause of technical difficulties, most of the wares produced at Saint-Cloud are rather small in size and heavily potted.  Stylistic restraint was exercised in both the form and decoration of its wares.  Underglaze blue was frequently employed at Saint-Cloud, and pieces of the type resemble closely those attributed to Rouen, leading to the speculation that the two factories were closely related.
