"Porcelain From Paris And Saint Hubert...beautiful Complicite"
representation of Saint Hubert in Paris porcelain. Uncommon statuette from a remarkable private collection (with a few others that I will be happy to present to you too). Paris Porcelain, usually called “Old Paris”, is a hard paste porcelain, pure white, milky, very shiny, decorated with paint and very often with gold. There were porcelain factories in Paris, of a very high standard, with their well-defined brand. But above all, in the back of the shops, we decorated the whites cooked in the Limoges region. Unmarked, these blanks often have letters or numbers that are covered in enamel. It is not the mark of a decorator or a factory. It is quite simply a sign that the worker made, before cooking, to recognize his work and to receive payment for the pieces thus produced. His work was often intended for church factories. People, even the most modest, placed these effigies, under a glass globe if they could, for protection purposes. Saint protector in perfect condition.
