| Place of origin |
The factory at Chantilly (outside Paris) was founded in 1730 under the protection of the Prince de Condé, cousin of Louis XV. Craftsmen were lured from the rival Saint-Cloud factory, and a royal privilege permitted Chantilly to make porcelain painted in the Japanese 'kakiemon' style. The factory's artists copied Japanese porcelain in the collection of the Prince de Condé, to which they were granted direct access.
Sugar tureens replaced earlier caster shapes and were used at the dessert. Sugar was sifted through the pierced spoon.
