Drawing of the old Trianon de Porcelaine and gardens, 1680

The drawing shows the Trianon de Porcelaine surrounded by gardens. Built in 1670 by the French King Louis XIV (1638–1715) near Versaille, the Trianon de Porcelaine existed only for a short period. It was demolished in 1687 and replaced by the Grand Trianon, which still stands today. Until its demolition, the Trianon de Porcelaine is said to have consisted of five wooden pavilions decorated with blue and white European porcelain tiles (faience).
