Vion and Baury

Désiré Vion and Charles Baury took over Jean Gille's porcelain manufactory in 1868 after Gille died. The manufactory was located at 28 Rue Paradis-Poissonniére, Paris, France. In 1875 Vion and Baury moved the manufactory to Choisy Le Roi. In 1877 Charles Baury died and Désiré Vion continued as sole proprietor until 1889. Vion and Baury made a variety of items including statues, figurines, vases, and dinnerware. Vion and Baury exhibited at various international exhibitions and are probably best known for their bisque figurines.

Mark 1 was used until the mid-1870's.
Mark 2 was used until the mid-1870's. It's a capital "V" next to a capital "B" on a raised blue pad which is similar to the raised blue pad used by Jean Gille.
Mark 3 was used after 1875 and appears to be an earlier, more detailed version of the green anchor mark.
Mark 4 was used after 1875 and appears to be a more simplified version of the green anchor mark and appears more frequently on items of slightly lesser detail.
Mark 5 shows a Vion and Baury anchor mark with a Demartial & Tallandier, Limoges decorating mark circa mid-1870's to around 1880.
Mark 6 is a curiosity in that it appears to be a "PB" or possibly a small "D" inside the "V" next to the "B" on a raised blue pad. This mark is on a few items that are Vion and Baury molds. In mark 1 you see how "D. Vion" was used so this could be "DVB" rather than "PB" but this is my speculation.

Information about Vion and Baury can be found in the books, "Faience et Porcelaine de Paris" by Guillebon; "Marques et Signatures de la Porcelaine Francaise" by Le Duc and Curtil; "Histoire des Manufactures Francaises de Porcelaine" by Chavagnac and Grollier.
