Limoges Porcelain
 

Pictures of Exhibits

The discovery of china clay (kaolin) and petuntse deposits at Saint-Yrieix not far from Limoges sparked off local manufacture of fine porcelain ware in 1771, becoming a major industry during the XIXth century and the area remaining the principal centre of production in France today.

The National Museum of Porcelain in Limoges possesses the richest collection of Limoges porcelain in the world, and provides a complete picture of its development from earliest experiments to contemporary productions.
