Fabriqué à la main à Limoges, France

Limoges possède une longue et fière histoire de production d'émail qui remonte au XIIe siècle. Ce n'est qu'après la découverte de gisements locaux de kaolin à la fin du XVIIIe siècle que l'industrie de la porcelaine dure telle que nous la connaissons a véritablement pris son essor. Aujourd'hui, il est plutôt facile de trouver de la porcelaine prétendant provenir de Limoges, et difficile de trouver l'authentique. Situé au cœur de Limoges, notre atelier s'appuie sur le savoir-faire séculaire de la région en matière de porcelaine dure pour créer et concevoir des pièces dignes du XXIe siècle. Il est fier d'honorer les procédés traditionnels nécessaires à la fabrication de la porcelaine fine, conçue selon une esthétique moderne afin d'assurer la pérennité de cette industrie pour les générations à venir.

Craftsmanship

##La porcelaine ne se trouve pas naturellement dans la nature et n'est pas extraite — c'est une "pâte" fabriquée par l'homme qui doit être mélangée par des mains expérimentées pour obtenir le bon résultat. La bonne quantité de kaolin, de quartz et de feldspath doit être combinée pour obtenir une pâte à la consistance parfaite pour la cuisson, et qui respecte des réglementations strictement appliquées garantissant que les pâtes de moindre qualité ne peuvent se classer comme porcelaine véritable.

Material

##Chaque atelier ou manufacture de Limoges possède son propre processus de production pour ses pièces signature en porcelaine, et le nôtre ne fait pas exception. Les artisans avec lesquels nous travaillons pour produire nos pièces sont réputés pour avoir perfectionné le processus de cuisson lente, un élément crucial dans la fixation de la porcelaine. C'est désespérément délicat à réussir et lorsque c'est mal fait, les pièces sont fragiles et peu susceptibles de durer aussi longtemps qu'elles le devraient.

Handcrafted in Limoges, France

Limoges has a long and proud history of enamel production that goes back as far as the 12th century. It was only after local repositories of kaolin were discovered in the late 18th century that the hard-paste porcelain industry as we know it took off. Today, it’s rather easy to find porcelain claiming to be from Limoges, and hard to find the genuine thing. Situated in the heart of Limoges, our workshop draws on the region’s centuries long knowledge of hard-paste porcelain to create and design pieces fit for the 21st Century. It’s proud to honour the traditional processes required to make fine porcelain, designed to a modern aesthetic to ensure the industry thrives well into the future.

Product Material

Porcelain is not naturally found or quarried- it’s a man made ‘dough’ that needs to be mixed by practised hands for the right outcome.

The right amount of kaolin, quartz and feldspar must be combined for a paste that’s the perfect consistency for firing, and for one that abides by strictly enforced regulations that ensure lesser pastes cannot classify as genuine porcelain.

Each workshop or factory in Limoges has its own specific production process for signature porcelain pieces, and ours is no different.

The artisans we work with to produce our pieces are known for perfecting the slow firing process, a crucial element in setting the porcelain. It’s desperately tricky to get right and when done incorrectly, pieces are brittle and unlikely to last as long as they should.
