Limoges porcelain is named after the region in France. Limoges is the city where factories produced this type of porcelain for over 200 years.The city of Limoges is located 200 miles south of Paris in the region known as Haute Vienne. The Vienne is the principal river flowing through the region. The soil in this area is rich in depostis of kaolin and feldspar, the essential ingredients for this natural or hard paste porcelain.

I specialize in Limoges china, simply because it is beautiful and comes in the most wonderful patterns! I try to date all pieces prior to listing them, so I can share their history with you. I often wonder about the many dinner parties and extravagent events these lovely pieces of porcelain have witnessed throug the centuries. I hope you enjoy your limoges shopping experience at Cape May Antiques.
