Term: Sevres porcelain sevres porcelain factory
Definition: Named for a French word
for paste, both hard and soft, Sevres Porcelain was made from 1756, first at Vincennes and then at the royal factory of Sevres near Versailles. With the decline of Meissen Porcelain after 1756, it became the leading porcelain factory in Europe. The patronage of Madame de Pompadour played a major role in its prestige, and because of her the factory was moved to Sevres. Source: Encyclopedia Britannica eb.com

Don't like themarkymark either?
Unvote themarkymark for witness here
"I've never seen anyone leave such a long trail of blazing dumpster fires. I now believe the wreckless downvoting and blacklisting of thousands of accounts by themarkymark et al is the SOLE reason the price of Steem continues to fall. I didn't even make the photo for this post. That's right, I found it online. Fucking amazing."
Look at all these complaints from people all over the Internet
Most of these are written OFF of Steemit so as to avoid being downvoted and hidden. Amazing. So much for this "censorship-free blockchain".
