The Chantilly manufactory, created in 1735 by the duc de Bourbon, produced its first models inspired by Chinese and Japanese porcelain, so popular under Louis XV with its Kakiémon or Arita motives. Thanks to the Duke's personal collections, the painters were able to reproduce the flower motifs and the red, green and blue colors typical of the Far East.
