PICKARD LIMOGES FRANCE PORCELAIN PITCHER / TANKARD GRAPE VINE ARTIST SIGNED

Description: A Brief History of Limoges PorcelainLimoges quickly became a famous area for porcelain production when Kaolin clay was found in the area in 1771, enabling the French to make hard-paste porcelain that was comparable to the porcelain being made in China. Prior to this point porcelain made in France was predominantly soft-paste porcelain, made with different minerals and fired at lower temperatures.The first factory to be set up in Limoges was bought by the King of France, King Louis the 16th, commissioning this hard, lustrous, white porcelain to be decorated at the Royal porcelain factory just outside Paris. Thus some of the first Limoges porcelain had the royal crest rather than being marked as Limoges.Soon other private factories were set up in Limoges and it wasn’t long before Limoges overtook Paris as the center of private porcelain production in France. Limoges porcelain was particularly popular with the French aristocracyIn 1841 a law was passed stating that all Limoges porcelain must be stamped to say that it was made in Limoges, France. This mark was often alongside a factory mark showing where the piece was made. The studio where the piece was decorated or the individual artist may also have marked the piece.Prior to this date, not all Limoges would have been marked. Thus it may be possible to have genuine Limoges porcelain that does not carry the Limoges France insignia. Early Limoges may therefore be identified by other markings, or by the quality of the porcelain which was rare at the time. Plus as mentioned above, some of the earliest pieces of porcelain made in Limoges were taken elsewhere to be painted and given the royal mark
