Limoges
Kaolin, the fine white clay for porcelain, was discovered near Limoges in 1768. This discovery
opened a new chapter for Limoges, a city 200 miles south of Paris, with its world-famous
porcelain business prospering ever since. Renoir the impressionist painter was born there in 1841.
This Limoges bowl was bought in Vancouver, BC.
