介绍（中）	大约1737年，一位名叫弗朗索瓦·巴宾的陶工在维尔罗伊镇建立了一家小型瓷器制造厂。尽管有维尔罗伊公爵的赞助，但这家工厂的员工很少，产量也不高，1748年因财政困难而关闭。两年后，Barbin和他的妻子在附近的Mennecy镇重建了工厂新工厂的生产比维尔罗伊工厂的生产更雄心勃勃，在技术上也更成功，但工厂的大部分产量都是用于家用的小型实用物品。与1750年代的大多数Mennecy瓷器一样，喷泉的珐琅颜色有限，没有镀金装饰。镀金是文森斯工厂的特权，国王是该工厂的主要股东这个喷泉是工厂生产的最大的喷泉之一。它可能是用来装洗手用的水，很可能还配有一个盆。
介绍（英）	In about 1737, a small porcelain manufactory was established in the town of Villeroy by a potter named François Barbin. The factory had few employees and its production was modest, despite the patronage of the duc de Villeroy, and it closed in 1748 due to financial difficulties. Barbin and his wife reestablished the factory two years later in the nearby town of Mennecy. The production of the new factory was more ambitious and technically successful than that of Villeroy, but the bulk of the factory's output was in small utilitarian objects made for domestic use. Like most Mennecy porcelain of the 1750s, the fountain is painted with a limited palette of enamel colors and there is no gilt decoration. The use of gilding was the privilege of the Vincennes factory, of which the king was a major shareholder. This fountain is among the largest pieces produced by the factory. It probably was intended to contain water to be used for hand washing, and most likely was accompanied by a basin.
