High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Saint-Cloud porcelain was a type of soft-paste porcelain produced in the French town of Saint-Cloud from the late 17th to the mid 18th century.In 1702, Philippe II, Duke of Orleans gave letters-patent to the family of Pierre Chicaneau, who were said to have been making porcelain as perfect as the Chinese since 1693. Chicaneau's factory was a pioneer in the maufacture of porcelain in Europe, where there had been many attempts to copy Chinese porcelain. Saint-Cloud developed a frit (a mixture of a flux, sand and chalk) which was close, although not similar, to Asian porcelain.
