Limoges, the world capital of porcelain, has been producing exceptional porcelain of unequalled finesse and transparency since the 18th Century. Flagship of the "French luxury", the great names of Limousin porcelain have been able to combine know-how and innovation for three centuries.

    Lovely polychrome porcelain bowl from Canton. We find on this Canton porcelain the characteristic decoration painted on a white background representing large polylobed medallions or cartridges alternating palace scenes and nature decorations with motifs of birds, plants, flowers, and butterflies. Period: Mid-19th Century Dimensions: diameter 20cm Solid and fairly excavated funds use gold. The artist painter uses the circular shape of the object to represent the scenes continuously. Here we find the Chinese characters in a palace, surrounded by friezes of flowers. The colors remain vivid, especially with light greens and pinks. In the second half of the 19th century, when Japan established itself as a source of artistic inspiration, and the image of China and its inhabitants tarnished, several Chinese porcelain collections...
