The golden age of Limoges porcelain

THE second half of the nineteenth century was the golden age of Limoges Porcelain.

The international renown of this centre of porcelain excellence grew and grew with the development of exports, as well as the triumph of Limoges Porcelain at universal expositions organized around the world from 1855.

One of the reasons why Limoges Porcelain has been so successful is without any doubt the policy of working with the most famous artists of the day.

Throughout the twentieth century, right up to the present day, the greatest names from the world of decorative arts continue to help design Limoges porcelain.
