The porcelain of Paris, also known as "Vieux Paris", is a type of porcelain produced in Paris and its surroundings between the late 18th and 19th centuries. 
The production of porcelain in Paris began around 1770, with the birth of numerous independent manufactories. The lack of a dominant royal manufactory, like in Sèvres, led to a great variety of styles and decorations.

The porcelain of Paris is known for its hard paste, its whiteness, and its fineness. The decorations range from neoclassical motifs to romantic scenes, with great attention to detail. The productions include tableware, decorative objects, statues, and vases.
