Limoges porcelain is one of the two main porcelain productions in France, and the only one from a real production area, located around the city of Limoges in the Hautes - Viennes.

It was in 1768 that exploitable deposits of kaolin were found, an essential material for the production of this hard and translucent ceramic, and it is from this discovery that Limoges porcelain was born and developed.

Since the 18th century, the notoriety of Limoges porcelain has developed to the point that the name of the city immediately evokes the art of porcelain.
