Three generations who, since the 19th century, have perpetuated with great talent the Limoges Porcelain tradition.
First Martial, who bought the Montjovis factory in 1919 and asserted his ambitions through multiple collections in classical shapes, with patterns strongly inspired from Art Nouveau and Art Déco. He also created the beautiful Czarinas' cups with motifs reminiscent of the Saint Petersburg palaces, but above all the amazing "pearls and enamels" borrowed from the Hungarian tradition.
Then André took over from his father in 1952, and brought the company the richness of his personality's multiple facets. The industrial innovations of this heir to time-honored craftsmanship allowed him to produce bold, modern collections, in square shapes, still displayed today in various museums, including the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris.
"Compagnie des Indes" patterns on celadon or ivory porcelain, and the works of world-famous painters such as Dali, Cocteau, Arman or Raymond Loewy...
