From decorative boxes to exquisite dinnerware to elegant kitchen sinks, Limoges porcelain remains a world-class standard for craftsmanship.
In 1768, a chemists wife in St. Yrieixin, a commune just outside of Limoges in southwest-central France, made a thrilling discovery: A soft white substance in the soil. At first, the story goes, the woman thought the substance could be used to wash and bleach linen, but it turned out she had stumbled upon white gold. The substance was kaolin, a rare and precious white clay that is a key ingredient in crafting fine porcelain. That discovery set Limoges on a path towards becoming a center for some of the most beautiful and coveted porcelain in the world.
Centuries later, Limoges porcelain continues to signal luxury and refinement.
Condition: Excellent, as new, the decoration throughout the trinket bowl and lid is in very good condition.
