Marie Daâge Limoges … Painted by Hand


Made exclusively of Limoges porcelain in Limoges, France, 
Marie Daâge is one of the few companies that still paint their porcelain entirely by hand.

Painters are personally trained by Marie in a light and fluid style 
reminiscent of water colour painting. 
Chosen with particular abilities, a painter must have excellent interpretive skills
 as well as painting ability she says. 
Some have great talent for painting leaves and flowers, 
while others excel creating figures or patterns. 

 All are from families in Limoges that have painted for generations using traditional methods of painting developed in the 18th century.
