Porcelain Limoges
what is the difference between Limoge and Limoges--both made in France?
I have 2 very old porcelain items, cake stand(green floral clusters saying Limoge, France, almost looks like Herend)The other an oval covered vegetable dish which says Limoges, France.
If your old china items were decorated by hand and signed, there may have been a spelling error by whoever signed the cake stand as there is only one town called Limoges in France, which has been a centre for making hard paste porcelain for several hundred years.
Limoges has become the generic name of hard paste porcelain that was produced during the 18th, 19th and into the 20th century in one of the many factories in Limoges, a French town situated about 250 miles southwest of Paris in the Vienne valley.
Limoges is considered the finest hard paste porcelain in the world because of three very distinct characteristics. First, the essential ingredients making up the content of Limoges porcelain are all natural ingredients: feldspar, quartz, and kaolin. Second, the intense firing process forms a glaze that can not be penetrated and makes Limoges porcelain an exquisite form of translucent pottery. (The glaze on an antique piece of Limoges over a hundred years old will show no signs of crackling or crazing, and if it has not broken, a piece will look as beautiful as the day it was produced.) Thirdly, an abundance of the most prestigious and skilled artisans in the world along with the French flair for design and artistic style set the standard for both Europeans and Americans to emulate. These French artisans created masterpieces out of decorative pieces of art to essential objects for daily use. Not only were there many manufacturers who had their own decorators but also independent decorators who bought blanks from larger factories, decorated them and refired them.
A piece of authentic Limoges may be identified by one of approximately four hundred different factory marks. It is not as simple as the mark stating Limoges or France.
In addition china called Limoges was also manufactured in America. American Limoges is not Limoges hard paste porcelain from the Limoges region in France, but a pottery reproduced in the United States of America during the same time period. There were also blanks exported to America then decorated locally.

Without being able to inspect the items at close quarters,it is impossible to give you more information. Perhaps you could send a photograph of the pieces and their markings to a renouned firm like Christie's or Sotherby's if you have no genuine antiquarian specialist where you live.

French Limoges Boxes for Collectors & Gift-Buyers
Value of old Napoleon liqueur porcelain bottle?
I've got a question from a person who tries to get such bottle valued. She found me because I've made a blogpost about our old bottle Mandarine Napoleon liqueur that hubby bought around 1982 - and still not opened! The special porcelain bottle is from the famous Limoges in France. I've no idea how to value the bottle, have never thought about it. Any suggestions of where to turn to?
Thought this was suppose to be about drink and liquor questions and not prices. Maybe should try posting it in another area for more answers. I can only think that I would take it where they sold antiques and see what they had to say. Or maybe check at your library and see if they have books about prices of bottles or such.
