A Pair of Sceaux Faience Drug Jars Periode J. Chapelle – End of 18th Century
Some interesting background information about the manufactury you can find at the J. Paul Getty Museum:
The ceramic manufactory at Sceaux, outside of Paris, was founded initially as a faience factory about 1735 under the patronage of Anne-Louise Bénédicte, duchesse du Maine. In 1748 the original owner, Louis-François de Bey, went into partnership with Jacques Chapelle and began manufacturing soft-past porcelain. Chapelle, who had previously worked as a modeler at the Rue de Charenton manufactory, became co-owner and director of the new enterprise.

The Château and the Museum
English summary: The Musée du Domaine départemental de Sceaux was set up in 1937 and stands at the very heart of the Domaine de Sceaux, where it now houses its collections in a number of prestigious buildings such as the Château, the Orangery, the Pavillon de l’Aurore, the Petit Château and the Stables. A tour of all the buildings, together with a stroll along the paths of the park designed by Le Nôtre, the Sun King’s gardener, allows visitors to take a fascinating walk into history, from Jean-Baptiste Colbert’s time right up until the present day.
