Ahrenfeldt Limoges
China and porcelain French style
The history of Limoges porcelain manufacture dates back to 1771 when the activity was placed under the supervision the Crown Prince of Comte d'Artois, brother of King Louis XVI. Limoges region was once a type of clay to produce clear what is referred to as "china" to the discovery of kaolin and a material similar to petuntse was held in Saint-Yreix-la-Perche. These are the two materials used to make China in French hard-paste which has many similarities to china. Mining of these raw materials began in 1768, leading to the beginning of that porcelain factory three years later.
In the years following the French Revolution, the control of Limoges porcelain production was shifted from copyright and are made by private factories. Several of these are installed in Limoges and among the most notable were Haviland, Pouyat, Ahrenfeldt, Elite and Guerin. It is worth noting that "porcelain of Limoges, the term refers to all the French porcelain items are made in and around the city of Limoges.
Limoges pieces are a good example of the exquisite works of French art and as is common in any work of art desirable to have a perpetual threat of counterfeit production. French experts in China can be necessary to determine the authenticity of Limoges porcelain pieces but some of the distinctive elements, with reference to the decoration are very noticeable even to the eye inexperienced. This aspect of the decoration can be done in three ways, ie under the enamel (paint by hand or by transfer of label between the first and second crystals) over the enamel, or both techniques.
It is very rare to find the best pieces of antique Limoges porcelain, except when these receptors are shown installed. Some of the best collections are owned by the Collector Haviland International Foundation of Christie's Auction House and the House Sotheby's auction. The three collectors are valued for their experience and reliable research on these issues fine French art.

The weirdest job old Limoges porcelain art is one that represents human beings and / or animals that is, the figurative decoration.
