Hard porcelain in Paris in the early 19th century 
In contrast to earthenware, porcelain factories flourished under the Empire, particularly in Paris. The period 1800-1820 can be considered the golden age of porcelain in Paris. There were nineteen porcelain factories in Paris in 1800, but only seven had been founded under the Ancien Régime: Dihl & Guérard, Houzel, Lemaire & Josse, Pouyat & Russinger, Schoelcher, Despréz & Nast, etc. In contrast to the last twenty years of the 18th century, which saw a shift from rocaille to antique simplicity, the first thirty years of the 19th century saw the opposite, a shift from antique sobriety to rococo.
