Potiche in Limoges Porcelain, 1960

About the Item

Limoges porcelain pottery, 1960s Measures: Ø cm 20 H cm 20 The Limoges porcelain dates back to the 60s-70s of the seventeenth century, when a deposit of kaolin was discovered in a French village in Limoges, a material necessary for the production of hard-paste porcelain. This discovery changed the history of the city so much that it became the capital of French ceramics. Several years later Louis XV issued a royal edict which gave the city the exclusive right to produce the royal porcelain for the kingdom of France. In the nineteenth century the number of porcelain factories multiplied and the most important, then as now, is Bernardaud, who is known for the beauty of his lithophanes. Even today, the city retains its leading position as a porcelain manufacturing center in France. Limoges porcelain is appreciated and known all over the world for the particular elegance of its works and materials. It has always stood out for its particularly white color, but also for the great skill and skill of the decorators who have made it a great success. Among these porcelains are made boxes and jewelry boxes, dish sets with tureens and centerpieces, which in the eighteenth century were highly appreciated by royalty, such as Josephine, Napoleon's wife who began to collect them in the most intricate designs. After her, many royal families of Europe began to collect Limoges boxes, decorated in an elegant and romantic French style.
