    Halley's workshop
    [RdPdG] Charles Halley began his career as an earthenware maker on rue Montmartre in Paris. He appeared in almanacs as early as 1793. In 1803, he is mentioned in a notarized deed as an earthenware maker and porcelain merchant. His factory decorated porcelain whites from the Locré and Nast factories, among others. In 1811, Charles Halley united his daughter with the son Lebon, a crystal, earthenware and porcelain merchant.
    The partnership formed Halley Lebon, which remained in use until 1822. During the Restoration, Halley Lebon came under the protection of the Comte d'Artois, the future Charles X, and was breveté de Monsieur, the King's brother. Our suite of plates therefore probably predates 1811.
