Additional Information

The company Charles PILLIVUYT & Cie was founded in 1818 by Jean Louis Richard PILLIVUYT, who was awarded his first medal in 1823 in New York. In 1830 his eldest son, Charles, enters the company as business director and, in 1847, opens the first PILLIVUYT store at 46 rue de Paradis in Paris.
The firm is awarded its first gold medal at the 1855 Universal Exhibition. Also present at the 1862 Universal Exhibition, in London, this porcelain manufacture reinforces its reputation with another gold medal at the 1867 Universal Exhibition. From this latter date onwards, Charles PILLIVUYT can count amongst his customers the members of the highest French elites, such as the Duke of Chartres.
The Smithsonian Museum of New York has in his collections, dinner plates and one cake plate by Charles PILLIVUYT.
