In 1730 the Prince de Condé, a cousin of Louis XV, gave his protection to a new enterprise at Chantilly, outside Paris. Craftsmen were lured from the rival Saint-Cloud factory and a royal privilege, granted in 1735, permitted Chantilly to produce porcelain decorated with overglaze enamel colours in the Japanese 'kakiemon' style. For a while, tin oxide was used to whiten the glaze. Later productions included a much broader range of styles and decoration, including flowers and a striking blue-lozenge ground pattern (Fig. 22-1902). The Prince de Condé was a loyal client of his own factory. An inventory of his possessions drawn up after his death in 1740 (five years after the factory was founded) includes eighty pieces in a variety of models. \r\n\r\nMarket sellers and tradespeople were popular subjects for figures during the eighteenth century and this example combines this fashion with the vogue for <i>chinoiserie</i>, or fanciful depictions of chinese scenes and decoration.","physicalDescription":"Figure vase, soft-paste porcelain, tin-glazed, of a Chinese man carrying a panier, probably a vegetable seller, and painted in enamels.
