Limoges porcelain miniature plate with Fragonard scene

This product is an authentic piece of Limoges porcelain, specifically a miniature decorative plate featuring a romantic 'courting couple' scene in the style of Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a famous 18th-century French Rococo painter.

Limoges porcelain is not a single brand but a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) that refers to hard-paste porcelain produced by various factories located in and around the city of Limoges, France. These items are world-renowned for their high-quality kaolin clay, which produces a brilliantly white and translucent finish, often complemented by hand-painted details and 22-karat gold trim.

While multiple manufacturers such as Bernardaud, Haviland, and Royal Limoges operate in the region, many of these mid-20th-century miniatures were produced by specialized workshops like Castel or smaller artisanal ateliers that used blank porcelain from major Limoges factories and applied these classic scenes for the tourist and collector markets.
