The Limoges porcelain sought by collectors today was actually produced by a
number of factories in the Limoges region of France from the late 1700s until
around 1930.
At one point in the 1920s as many as 48 companies were producing wares marked
Limoges,
These pieces weren't only marked Limoges denoting their origin, however. Many
pieces had factory marks and even marks showing who decorated each piece.
It's important to understand, however, that the factories opertinging the the
Limoges region primarily produced elaborately molded white wares. Sugar bowls,

as "blanks," were taken to decorating studios away from the factory or exported
without decoration. The blanks exported to American soil often ended up in the
hands of eager china painting students. Some pieces of Limoges porcelain were
decorated with transfers as well. . From the mid-19th century to the
beginning of the Great Depression, Americans extensively used Haviland Limoges
dinnerware on well-set tables. This accounts for so many sets that have been
passed down from grandmothers and great-grandmothers to their lucky families.
