Paris porcelain, or "Vieux Paris,"
Refers to the variety of porcelain produced by artisans in factories in Paris, particularly from the late 18th Century to the 1870s.
This style, which includes decorative objects, tableware, and figures, is known for its variety and changing styles, such as hand-painted florals and gilded ornamentation, reflecting trends from the Rococo to Neoclassical periods.
It was first beloved by Marie Antoinette (particularly the “cornflower” painted patterns) and utilized by only the wealthiest of French aristocrats.

Dresden porcelain - A King's Obsession
In the early 1700s, King Augustus II, prince elector of Saxony, held goldsmith Johann Bottger prisoner and commissioned him to create gold. Bottger instead discovered the method of creating porcelain, a favored and valuable item in the king's eyes.
The king announced to Europe in 1710 that he would open a porcelain manufactory in Dresden. He instead opened one at nearby Albrechtsburg castle. Espionage was rampant, and the king guarded his porcelain secret, even though it meant imprisoning workers within the castle walls.
