In addition to beautiful tablewares, the factory produced statuettes and figurines. The most famous of the statuettes are those of glittering white biscuit porcelain modeled by Étienne-Maurice Falconet, the leading eighteenth-century French sculptor.

While employed there, he produced numerous models for biscuit statuettes depicting popular mythological scenes, as well as charming renderings of playful children.
