Antiques Explained: Limoges Pheasant Platter (18” × 12”) Limoges isn’t a brand—it’s the French city famous for true hard-paste porcelain after kaolin was discovered there in 1768. Factories produced luminous white “blanks,” then independent artists hand-painted scenes for export. This platter shows that tradition: a signed game bird study on a Limoges blank, with the bright white body and glassy glaze collectors look for. Beautiful for service—or stunning as wall art.
