The French 18th century saw the flourishing of decorative arts in France and led the rest of Europe in artistic expression and style. It was in the region Marseille, which saw the production of some of the finest examples of French faience. "china" is the French name of tin-glazed earthenware,

known to the Dutch and English as "Delft" and "Majolica" in Italy.

One of the most prominent of these factories was inaugurated in 1740 by Claude Perrin (1696-1748) and when he died in 1748 was his widow,

Mrs. Pierrette Candelot, who took over the management of production. This alone, in the middle of the 18th century, was considered highly unusual.

Under his leadership the production flourished, especially in the quality painting of flowers. With foresight Madam Perrin outstanding painters of pottery inscribed in French art academies to develop and refine the elegant style of the flower painting that we see today. Painting on china was very difficult, the painter using the glazed surface on the canvas.

El Siglo 18 French rococo was the century flower painting and was expressed in this beautiful style.

The style known as "Decoration Floral Naturaliste le Grand Fleur "is naturalistic, but not a botanist, informal and yet with a sense of formality. Painting loose flowers summer flowers, sprays and small twigs, often with moths and butterflies, ladybugs and caterpillars and is known to many painters picked a bouquet of flowers on her way to work as models for the day.

The majority of the produced parts are marked with the letters "VP" the initials of the French "Veuve Perrin" which means the widow Perrin. Mrs Perrin died in 1793 and continued production, although in decline until 1803.

The factory struggled through violence of the French Revolution, which eventually saw the demise of the Rococo Deco Floral ".
