Tête-à-tête Coffee Set in Limoges Porcelain from the 1950s
About the Item
Coffee set for two in Limoges porcelain made in the 1950s
Tray - Ø 40 cm Ø 27.5 cm
The Limoges porcelain dates back to the 1660s-70s, when in a French town near Limoges a kaolin deposit, material necessary for the production of hard-paste porcelain. This discovery changed the history of the city so much so that it became the capital of French ceramics. Several years later Louis XV issued a royal edict giving the city the exclusive right to produce royal porcelain for the kingdom of France.
In the nineteenth century the number of porcelain factories multiplied and the most important, then as today, is Bernardaud, which is known for the beauty of its lithophanes.
Even today the city maintains its leading position as the center of porcelain manufacturing in France.
Limoges porcelain is appreciated and known throughout the world for the particular elegance of its work and materials. It has always stood out for its particularly white colour, but also for the great skill and mastery of the decorators who made it a great success. Among these porcelains, jewelery boxes and holders, dinner sets with tureens and centrepieces are made, which in the 18th century were much appreciated by royalty, such as Josephine Napoleon's wife who began collecting them in the most intricate designs. After her, many royal families of Europe began collecting Limoges boxes, decorated in an elegant and romantic French style.
