Limoges porcelain is hard-paste porcelain produced by factories in and around the city of Limoges, France.
Beginning in the late 18th century, Limoges was produced but the name Limoges does not refer to a particular manufacturer.
By about 1830 Limoges, which was close to the areas where suitable clay was found, had replaced Paris as the main centre for private porcelain factories, although the state-owned Sèvres porcelain near Paris remained dominant at the very top of the market.
Limoges has maintained this position to the present day.
