    "description": "A porcelain manufactory was founded in Chantilly, France, in 1725 by Louis-Henri de Bourbon, Prince de Condé (1692–1740), a leading French aristocrat in the first half of the 18th-century. The speciality of this factory was soft-paste or artificial porcelains embellished with enamel decoration applied over a milky white glaze. The designs for the decorations were often derived from Japanese Kakiemon wares as well as copies of such Japanese wares by the German manufactory Meissen.",
