Royal Limoges is the oldest existing porcelain factory in Limoges today, established in 1797. A two century old tradition together with the most advanced technology enables them to remain one of the few family owned companies remaining in the region. Since the beginning, the most well known individuals in the manufacture of Limoges porcelain have taken part in their history: Alluaud, Clement, Dufraissex, Abbot and Lanternier.
Royal Limoges has been based at Faubourg des Casseaux (today named rue Donzelot) since 1816, close to the Vienne river which was used to transport wood for its kilns. The raw materials came from their kaolin quarries and the clay prepared in their own mills.
Today, the company continues making its own clay with patterns exclusively designed by style specialists or their customer's designers. For many years they have had a highly sophisticated plant located at Le Dorat, which adds to the technique and skills of their traditional work.
With an ongoing concern for quality, creativity and productivity, Royal Limoges markets a prestigious collection of porcelain made and decorated in Limoges. Their products are sold throughout the world in both hospitality and private dining venues.
