Castle, Cleveland, Ohio. date: footnotes: citations: --- fun fact: 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. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1972.189.a/1972.189.a_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1972.189.a/1972.189.a_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1972.189.a/1972.189.a_full.tif
