	Limoges, France - Porcelain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)

		The reputation of Limoges porcelain, an alliance of tradition and progress, remains unequalled.
		Porcelain is sold white or decorated according to different procedures (paint, transfer).

	eBay Guides - Quality Value of Limoges Porcelain Figurine Boxes
		Most often a high quality limoges box is judged by limoges collectors on the detail of line, the conditions and time spent around the creation of that mold, the artistic instinct, and the intricacy involved in making the piece.
		I have found windmill limoges boxes, for example, that were spectacular in containing a windmill that actually spins, and I have seen windmill limoges boxes that were just as beautiful where the windmill is mounted stable into the mold.
		As a result the limoges industry has suffered from a severe loss in American sales, the greater part of their market, and 50% of the factories have gone under as the rest are hanging on by a thread.

	Collecting Limoges
		Whether the name brings to mind a region in France, the city of Limoges, or the factories that produce fine hard paste Limoges porcelain (in the form of hand painted decorative pieces of art, dinnerware or boxes), a picture of romance, beauty and fabulous artisans probably spring to mind.
		Reproductions aside, there are several factors that contribute to the price and desirability of a piece of Limoges: the factory where it was produced; the mark or marks; the age; condition; uniqueness of the blank; size; completeness of a set versus a single piece from a set, quality of the painting; and the artist's signature.
		Based on the fact that Limoges is a fine hard paste porcelain that does not crackle and craze, a piece will be as beautiful and as useful as it was when it departed the factory in France well over a hundred years ago.

	History of Limoges porcelain
		Limoges' other, much less significant, industries were tanning, paper making (100 workers), bookbinding and printing, a manufacture of weights and measured (75 workers), and numerous lesser industries, including a few "silver and enamel workers with little but centuries of proud tradition to support them."
		This produces the fine, pure white porcelain, which was the most popular variety at the time; but some of the porcelain was not left plain.
		Although Limoges had won a major share of the French market for porcelain, by the late 1850's, about half of the porcelain produced in Limoges was exported to the United States.
