About the Collection

The technique of incrustation is a highly sophisticated process of porcelain decoration that has been passed down for five generations by Bernardaud, similar to "Haute Couture" craftsmanship.

This intricate acid engraving technique involves approximately thirty steps, six firings, and a minimum of three days to complete a single piece. First, the decoration is printed onto the porcelain with a protective varnish that is resistant to acid. Then, the piece is submerged into a hydrofluoric acid bath, which attacks the unprotected enamel, creating the desired pattern. The plate is then rinsed in petroleum and checked for accuracy using lampblack before being decorated with at least two layers of gold (first glossy, then matte) or bright platinum, requiring a minimum of two firings. The gold is then polished by hand with a cloth, fine sand, and water to achieve maximum shine.

Incrustation can be paired with Cobalt Blue, which requires firing at 1400 degrees, or with a "Gold in Relief" technique that involves using a brush to apply a special paste for thick patterns. The pattern is then sprinkled with gold before firing it again. Bernardaud takes great pride in its exceptional craftsmanship and knowledge of the incrustation technique.

About the brand

Bernardaud has been synonymous with the entire art of Limoges porcelain since 1863, combining know-how and innovation, creativity and French tradition.

In a field that is constantly changing and at the forefront of design, the House of Bernardaud develops new technologies and constantly pushes the boundaries of the art of fire in its Limoges manufacture.

To design its collections of porcelain dinner services, lamps, candles and jewellery, the house commissions the greatest contemporary designers and artists. Bernardaud also makes bespoke creations - in décor or shape - for the hotel and catering industry: plates, cups, bowls, lights and decorative objects in porcelain to grace the tables of the greatest chefs and the most beautiful palaces around the world.

About the Manufacture

Depending on the style of the collection, the application of the decoration is more or less complex. Some valuable pieces are painted by hand and the craftsmen show exceptional dexterity in using a wide variety of brushes.

In most cases, a leaf decoration (decalcomania principle) is applied by hand on the white porcelain. It is dipped in water so as to detach the design from its paper backing and applied to the piece. The leaf decoration is produced by different printing processes, originally lithography, now silk-screen printing. The Bernardaud factory is one of the few in Limoges to have a printing works.
