Limoges potters startedwork in the 1770s, creating fine hard-paste porcelain from the white claysfound in the region 200 miles south of Par...is. By the Victorian era, art objectsand china services by Haviland and other Limoges firms had become a statussymbol for the rising middle class. It’s these examples from the mid-1800sthrough 1930 that are most sought by American collectors. Lavish items werestaples of the elaborate Victorian lifestyle, and the pure quality and gorgeousdecoration (often ornately floral) offered by the Limoges firms suited it well.Limoges potters offered a plethora of art objects (vases, jardinières, tankardand bowl sets); decorative accessories (dresser sets, trinket boxes, humidors, inkwells); and table china. Limoges was alwaysconsidered a premium product, in part due to the strong yet delicate nature ofporcelain. Fired and refired at increasingly high temperatures, Limoges piecesallow diffused light to pass through, making them more dainty in feel ratherthan heavy earthenware and pottery. Porcelain also resists crazing (thoselittle ‘age cracks’ some pottery gets between the over glaze and the potterybody). Accept PayPal Payment and Shipping AddressOnly.
