Limoges, France is one of the oldest cities in France. It is known for and still remains to be known for the notion of porcelain. There are several reasons, one of course is the discovery of rich deposits of kaolin, discovered at the end of the 18th Century around Limoges, France.
Kaolin is used to make porcelain paste.
The process begins with the creation of a mold. The porcelain paste is then poured into the mold. Once it is dry it takes the the shape of the object that was intended. The next step is to glaze the porcelain and to fire it for a second time. Hand decorating is several stages and takes sometime, while the printing is much faster.
