Limoges, is a city in France world renowned for its porcelain. The international career of Limoges porcelain had its roots on the tables of royalty and celebrities. The history of Limoges porcelain dates back to the eighteenth century, when clay of extreme ness and beauty, the purest in all of Europe, was discovered in the vicinity of Limoges, France. Porcelain is the result of the transformation of clay by fire, distinguished from other ceramics by its trans lucidity, superior density and by being non-porous. The superior quality of Limoges porcelain is the result of the research for a very paste, which is harder and more difficult to work with. To obtain an “Authentic” Limoges piece, it must be handled approximately 30 times, from mining of the raw materials until the finished product, culminating with the words “ Limoges France” stamped on each piece. Defective pieces, even with minute imperfections, are discarded. The rate of rejected pieces may be up to 50% for certain shapes. Today, Limoges porcelain is produced in Limoges, France, according to the exacting standards set forth by the association of Limoges producers. It comes in a wide variety of dinnerware, decorative pieces and the well known miniatures. The beauty of Limoges porcelain, made in France, has been much envied and imitated by other countries. As a result, there is today available “so-called Limoges” porcelain made in other countries; similar to Swiss movements made elsewhere than in Switzerland. The authentic Limoges porcelain, entirely made in Limoges, France, retains its classical beauty and timeless value. When buying Limoges porcelain, be aware of this distinction.
