Bibliography
“M. Naudot est le seul fabricant de porcelaine de pâte tendre, dite porcelaine française.
Il expose nombre de pièces remarquables par la qualité de la matière et l’éclat des émaux
qui les recouvrent. De plus, il a découpé dans la pâte crue des fleurs d’une finesse extrême,
qui, remplies ensuite d’émail, forment sur la pièce comme une fine dentelle lumineuse”.
Alexandre Sandier, La Céramique à l’Exposition Universelle de 1900, Art et Décoration, December 1900, p. 194
Camille Naudot is credited with having mastered the technique of filling the blanks
of his openwork soft paste porcelain with colored translucent enamels without having
to trap them with metal or gold thin wire
