The Paris marks are so manifold that the student must refer to some manual of marks, such as are mentioned in the list of books at the end of the volume.
Besides the smaller factories first mentioned, a few words may be well upon some factories whose productions are now and then offered for sale.
Chantilly.—As early as 1725 this factory produced a great variety of articles of soft paste, which were and are highly esteemed. A design used there—a small blue flower upon the white—called Barbeau, was much in fashion.
The workmen at Chantilly were afterward engaged at Vincennes. The mark is a hunting-horn, sometimes impressed, sometimes painted on.
Hunting-horn.
Sceaux (sometimes Sceaux-Penthièvre) was a small factory near Paris, begun in 1750, where, for some twenty or thirty years, very delicate soft-paste porcelain was made. The marks were sometimes the letters S X or S P, and the anchor.
