Antique T&V Limoges Covered Tureen

Circa 1892-1907/Limoges, France

Limoges, France became a world-renowned center for porcelain production during the 19th century, drawing upon local deposits of fine kaolin clay discovered in the region. Numerous independent decorating studios and major factories established operations in the area, capitalizing on the exceptional whiteness and translucency of the fired porcelain.

Tressemann & Vogt (T&V) was founded in 1892 by Emil Tressemann and Karl Vogt, growing quickly into one of the most successful porcelain decorating and exporting businesses in Limoges. The firm maintained strict standards of quality control and supplied elegant tableware sets to upscale retailers across Europe and the United States.
