Charles halley began his career as a faience maker on rue montmartre in paris. We find his trace in the almanacs as early as 1793. In 1803 he was mentioned in a notarial deed as a faience maker and porcelain merchant. His factory decorated porcelain whites from the factories of locré, nast and deuster. In 1811, charles halley united your daughter with the son lebon, merchant of crystals, earthenware and porcelain, uniting the two businesses to create the brand halley lebon in use from this period. Under the restoration, halley lebon was placed under the protection of the count of artois, future charles X and patented by monsieur, brother of the king. Halley's porcelain is particularly remarkable for its neat décor, elegant, bold in the choice of colors: there are for example purple, orange combined with gray, stony backgrounds, brown, or a delicate pink simply decorated with light gold motifs.
