Unmarked, Old Paris porcelain was popular from the late eighteenth century until late in the nineteenth century. It was made with a particular mix of clays by small manufactories in & outside Paris. Its popularity peaked in America about 1820 until around 1850. Old Paris is a term that describes the output of the many factories that sprang up in & around Paris after 1770 when hard paste porcelain was first introduced at Svres & the various interdictions in the favor of the royal factory were relaxed. Most of these factories were under the protection of a member of the royal family or someone of equal importance. They produced wares of a similar hard paste & glaze, & there is a general similarity between the products that that makes them easily recognizable. For example, much was fairly lavishly gilded with a brassy mercuric gilding that differs considerably from early Svres. in the absence of a mark it is almost impossible to differentiate among the factories, & thus they are grouped together & called Old Paris. in many cases the china was obtained from Limoges or elsewhere & only decorated at the Paris fabrique.
