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. Limoges 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 the present day. 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 their manufacturing and decorating marks. Captions include price guides. A fine index turns a lovely illustrated book into a valuable reference tool. All the photos of porcelain and boxes are in color.

Too much NEW Limoges,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Decorative Art of Limoges Porcelain and Boxes (Hardcover)
I purchased this book based on these reviews and I was disappointed. I am interested in ANTIQUE Limoges vs newer pieces of Limoges and new boxes from retail shops. Love Schiffer books and I highly recommend Antique Limoges at Home.

A very comprehensive book on French Limoges Porcelain,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Decorative Art of Limoges Porcelain and Boxes (Hardcover)
Waterbrook-Clyde have done a lot of research in compiling their list of backmarks for so many various Limoges companies. There are also many photos of beautiful and unusual pieces of Limoges porcelain. They have done a great job with a very difficult study.
