Manufacture Royale de Porcelaine de Sèvres (since 1756)

The porcelain factory of Sèvres is one of the most important European manufacturers of soft paste china. Since 1765, its headquarters have been based in Sèvres. The manufactory was founded in 1740 at the Château de Vincennes on the outskirts of Paris. Vincennes began with the imitation of Meissen porcelain in order to curb the import. In 1745, the production of soft past china was launched, which enabled a number of new shapes and colors. One of the most important clients of the factory was Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764), so that the factory gained a great importance and Louis XV decided the construction of the Sèvres manufactory. In 1760, it came into royal possession. In 1790, it was nationalized. Today's Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres has a porcelain museum, where selected pieces are on display, dating from the beginning until now. (afa/cru)
