The Limoges porcelain factories have been renowned since the 18th century. Porcelain makers have been awarded multiple times for their participation in world exhibitions in London, Paris, Vienna, Philadelphia, and Chicago. In 1925, the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts granted Limoges the title of "International Capital of Porcelain." Inspired, at all times, by trends in decoration and fashion, the Limoges table is synonymous with the French art of living. The Chastagner & Cie factory was a manufacturer and decorator established in Limoges after the war: in 1948, Alexandre Chastagner founded the factory, and then his son Gérard Chastagner took over the factory in 1971. The factory lasted until 1998. Limoges porcelain is of exceptional white and translucent quality. Of high quality, the pieces are crafted with finesse and the ornaments are elegant.
