Limoges by Keither & Thomas Waterbrook-Clycle

Table of Contents

The story of porcelain making and decorating in Limoges, France is a tale of artists and potters; kings and an emperor; a revolution; and the emergence of a great industry. Its art comes to life in over 1,100 photographs of porcelain and porcelain marks made over the past 100 plus years, concentrating on pieces dating from the 1860s to present-day examples. Along with a discussion of the manufacturing and decorating of both fine porcelain pieces and boxes, there is a full section dedicated to Limoges companies and manufacturing and decorating marks. Captions include price guides. A fine index turns a lovely illustrated book into a valuable reference tool. All photos of porcelain and boxes are in color.
