History

1768

The story of French porcelain begins when a woman discovers soft, white clay that she uses to bleach her household linens. This substance will be identified as kaolin: the crucial, long-sought- after ingredient that is responsible for the durability and translucency of fine porcelain. The search for this “secret ingredient” had lasted four centuries since Marco Polo’s discovery of Chinese porcelain. The discovery of kaolin in France marked the birth of industrial and cultural significance of Limoges porcelain.
