Decorative Art of Limoges Porcelain and Boxes

Limoges comes to life in over 1,100 photographs of porcelain andporcelain marks made over the past 100 plus years, concentrating onpieces dating from the 1860s to the present day. 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. 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.
