The Sèvres porcelain manufactory built a new home at Sèvres from 1753 to 1756, in a building by Laurent Lindet near Madame de Pompadour's Château de Bellevue. The King bought the manufactory in 1759. The article names no style or materials, apart from a wrought-iron fence.
The building was 427 feet (130 m) long and four stories high, with a central pavilion under a pediment with a clock, two long wings ending in corner pavilions and a public courtyard in front. The article does not say whether it still stands.
In 1875 the manufactory moved to state-built buildings beside the Parc de Saint-Cloud, where it still operates and is classed a monument historique. Six anagama kilns built in 1877 under Ambroise Milet are also classed monuments. The article gives no ticket details.
