In 1771 Limoges, one of the oldest towns in the French kingdom rapidly began constructing manufacturing facilities with wood burning kilns for the production of fine porcelain.
The name of the city of Limoges has become synonymous with the high quality porcelain products manufactured by those early companies.
The hand painting and decorating of Limoges porcelains were done by factory approved hired artists as well as other professional and unprofessional artists.
The porcelain was used to create useful pieces and tableware such as plates, bowls, trays & pitchers. Pieces for entertaining guests, such as punch bowls, finial handled trays for treats, and tea sets. In addition fancy decorative pieces were produced such as dresser sets, plaques & vases.
Haviland is one of the most popular manufactures of Limoges found within the United States. Since Haviland did clever marketing research based on contemporary design preferences with the United States, collectors find that many of the Limoges tableware passed down from grandmothers and great grandmothers in the states were produced by Haviland.
True Quality Limoges pieces were produced between the late 1700's until the 1930's.
