Catalogue Note
François Antoine Le Gros d'Anizy, né en 1772, est employé par la manufacture impériale de Sèvres à partir de nivôse an XI (1802) où il invente un procédé d'impression sur porcelaine. Il s'associe au début du XIXe siècle avec Stone et Coquerel et dépose en 1808 un brevet d'invention pour l'impression de toutes sortes de dessins et gravures sur faïence, terre de pipe, porcelaine, ivoire, cristaux, tôle, bois vernissé, or, argent, écaille et toiles. L'impression avait lieu dans une manufacture établie à Paris, 9, rue du Cadran. Le Gros d'Anisy reçoit en 1819 une médaille d'argent à l'exposition pour avoir été le premier en France à avoir développé et exploité les procédés d'impression sur porcelaine et faïence. Il continue parallèlement à travailler à la manufacture de Sèvres en 1804 et 1823. Son portrait était connu par une gravure dont un exemplaire est aujourd'hui conservé aux archives de la manufacture de Sèvres (R. de Plinval de Guillebon, Porcelaine de Paris, 1770-1850, 1972, pp. 246-248)
