The collection draws inspiration from the opulent French porcelain styles of the early 19th century, particularly the works of famed porcelain painter Pierre-Louis Dagoty, which feature a combination of graceful forms, vivid hues, and lavish gold designs. The striking papyrus flower motif that extends along the plate's border is a tribute to the intense fascination with Egyptian-influenced architecture, art, and furnishings that emerged in the 18th century and surged after the Napoleonic conquests of the 19th century.
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.
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.
