Jean Gille founded a porcelain factory at Rue de Paradis-Poissonniere in France around 1845. He mainly made biscuit figurines that were of very high quality. His chief modeller was Charles Baury who later took over the factory with Désiré Vion and thus it became known as Vion and Baury, later moving production to Choisey-le-Roi in 1875. Both won several medals at the world exhibitions.
