Mennecy porcelain refers to fine, soft-paste porcelain produced in Mennecy, France, during the 18th century. Known for its delicate, elegant designs, it often featured pastoral scenes, floral motifs, and figural sculptures. The porcelain was characterised by its soft, creamy glaze and light colours.
Founded under the patronage of François Barbin in the 1730s, the factory thrived for several decades before closing in 1806. Mennecy porcelain remains highly collectible today due to its beauty and historical significance.
