Discovering the Beauty of Limoges Porcelain
Back in Italy now! ✈️ But my France trip wouldn’t have been complete without a special detour to Limoges, the heart of French porcelain. A highlight? Visiting the legendary Musée national Adrien Dubouché—a treasure trove of ceramic artistry spanning centuries. 🏺✨ Why This Museum is a Must Timeless Masterpieces: From ancient earthenware to gilded 18th-century Limoges hard-paste porcelain, each piece whispers tales of craftsmanship. The "Porcelain Capital" Legacy: Learn how Limoges became Europe’s answer to China’s Jingdezhen, blending innovation with French elegance. Interactive Displays: Some workshops even let you try hand-painting your own design! 🎨 Fun Fact 🤓 Did you know? Limoges’ porcelain dominance began after kaolin clay (the "white gold" of ceramics) was discovered nearby in 1767—ending Europe’s reliance on Chinese imports! #MuseumWanderlust #LimogesPorcelain #CeramicArt #FranceTravel
