Background of Arras Porcelain

The Arras Porcelain factory was started in the 1770s by the family Delemers. They were a family of four sisters who set up a porcelain factory employing as many as 20 people. The factory lasted for just twenty years. That was long enough to forge a reputation founded on the delicacy and quality of the shapes and decorations they created. The factory is primarily remembered for the magnificent color of its blue paint known as “Bleu d’Arras.” The Arras Museum of Fine Arts has a good collection of this porcelain on exhibit.
