How to tell what Brand Made my Limoges?
Is Limoges a company?
Limoges PorcelainΒ does not have a specific company nor Limoges brand.Β It is a city in France where Limoges porcelain is made, and is known to be the porcelain capital ofΒ the world. So this type of porcelain that is made is named after the city Limoges.Β Why ? Because it is the only place in the world where the clay Kaolin, the pure white translucent clay they make Limoges out of, can be found.Β
How to tell my Limoges Box Brand ? You mean the Manufacturer of the Porcelain made in Limoges right ?Β Treasure hunters are often trying to find Limoges Boxes and collectibles that are not only beautiful, but also authentic. Many Limoges porcelain Box pieces are labeled and Branded as "Limoges" or "French Limoges" are not authentic Limoges from France, but rather rip offs from China.Β Authentic French Limoges is a porcelain item manufactured in Limoges, France made with the clay Kaolin. When determining if the trinket Limoges box that you have is of value, youΒ can authenticate that it was manufactured in Limoges and determine the time frame in which it was made by checking the mark on the bottom or back of the piece. Below is a list of the most common and popular Limoges Factories, Arteliers, Importers, Decorators and their markings and I guess an American would be prone to call it their Brands. If you cannot find what you are looking for below it is beyond the scope of Limoges Boutique to help you. Limoges Boutique only retails modern Limoges pieces. I would suggest finding an Antique Limoges Porcelain dealer for help.Β

Most of the Limoges Marks of Production, Decorators, Importers, and ArteliersΒ you will See Around the World
There are thousands of Limoges boxes made by many different factories and so many different markings of the factories, workers, importers, producers, decorators, and ateliers. For 240 years, many small ateliers have created thousands of little "chefs d'Oeuvre" and it's impossible to list all of them.Β The most valuable pieces are the one that are very details & intricate and are clearly signed hand painted & limited edition individually numbered with the name of the atelier or Artist. Limited editions produce at 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000 or 2500, will have a marking indicating which number the piece is. the Smallest production, the most valuable the piece is.Below are few Limoges companies and Limoges markings, as well as a little history and common questions.For info about Limoges Porcelain or for an estimate of your Limoges box, please send us 2 pictures of the piece you want us to appraise, 1 of the piece & 1 of the signature.

Jennifer - octubre 12, 2026I have several pieces of porcelain the markings are two circles with Porcelain art in the outer circle and PA in the middle. Can you please tell me if this is Limoges Porcelain and if so how old would it be. Thank you for your help.
Heidi Brown - octubre 12, 2026I found a necklace charm with a silhouette of a blonde curly haired woman with a blue scarf on her head on the front. In great shape and looks like it might be circa 1920. On the back is hand written C. Lucicy (Lucuy) Ligomos (second line). I would be happy to send you pictures.
Ingrid - octubre 12, 2026I have a haviland Limoges silver anniversary piece. It looks exactly like the gravy boat. The lid is notched and it has an attached bottom plate. However, it is significantly smaller. It fits in my hand.
Any idea which piece this is?

Gracie Nilsen - octubre 12, 2026I have a question about THARAUD- decorating artist- 1798 -1865.
Is this the same Tharaud as camille Tharaud? because I reed on another site that Camille Tharaud was borned in 1878 and died in 1956.
Can you please answer this for me? Thanks in advance.Kind regards. Gracie Nilsen
Kathleen - octubre 12, 2026Hello, Iβm wondering about the source of your illustration with all the marks. My Limoges ice cream (?) set has marks 38 and 44 on it. What does that mean?
Sur - octubre 12, 2026I have vase that says limoges france and looks like MaC or G above it and possibly ertz stamped on it
It has birds going all the way around sitting on what looks like a vine.
I couldnβt find reference to a company that had a logo anything similar to what is on the bottom
Looking for any information on who might have made it
Thank you~ sue f
