Limoges had strong antecedents in the production of decorative objects. The city was the most famous European center of vitreous enamel production in the 12th century, and Limoges enamel was known as Opus de Limogia or Labor Limogiae. Limoges had also been the site of a minor industry producing plain faience earthenwares since the 1730s. The manufacturing of hard-paste porcelain at Limoges was established by Turgot in 1771 following the discovery of local supplies of kaolin and a material similar to petuntse in the economically distressed area at Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, near Limoges. The materials, which were quarried beginning in 1768, were used to produce hard-paste porcelain similar to Chinese porcelain. After the French Revolution a number of private factories were established at Limoges, including Bernardaud and Haviland & Co. This bowl is 9 inches in diameter and weighs 1 pound. This soup bowl is in truly excellent condition. There are no cracks, chips, or crazing. Likewise, the gold trim is 100%. This bowl is the perfect addition to any Haviland Limoges collection, and is perfect for display or use. Looking for more great Antiques? We are located HERE.
