Old Paris (Vieux Paris) 19th century "Old Paris" (Vieux Paris or Old Paris) is a general term used to refer to porcelain produced in and around Paris between the mid-18th century and around 1870, rather than a specific brand or manufacturer. "Old Paris" porcelain is known for its ornate, often gilded designs and floral motifs. It includes a wide range of styles, from neoclassical to romantic. They were made primarily of hard porcelain, which was very white and had a smooth, slightly creamy glaze. The decorations were extremely varied, as they were produced by hundreds of artisans, but common features include: Hand-painted motifs in bright and saturated colors. Extensive gilding, often in the form of intricate ornaments, edging and accents, adds a luxurious feel. The service you see is from an approximate production period of 1830-1880. It is distinguished by its rich gold plating and hand-painted floral motifs. Often these pieces are unmarked, which adds to their mystique.
