Porcelaine de Paris is a French porcelain manufacturing company, founded by Jean-Marx Clauss theApril 11, 1822. Jean-Marx Clauss wanted to draw inspiration from the great Parisian porcelain factories of the 18th century such as Dihl and Guerhard , the Clignancourt factory, the Faubourg Saint-Denis factory or the Locré house and its Courtille factory, rue de la Fontaine-au-Roi in Paris. Initially specializing in the creation of porcelain pieces (decorative objects, crockery and tableware, watches, jewellery), it is now a company that sells ceramic sanitary ware for export. The pieces are made with respect for ancestral traditions and the raw material, kaolin, by the master craftsmen of Porcelaine de Paris.
