The porcelain factory established in Saint-Cloud, a town outside of Paris, in the late seventeenth century was the first to produce soft-paste porcelain on a commercial scale in Europe. The blue and white decoration of the objects manufactured there during the early years of the factory was a deliberate reference to the imported Chinese porcelains so popular in Europe at this time.
