Limoges was produced by a number of factories in France from the late 1700s until around 1930. When valuing a piece, looking at the quality of the decoration can often be more important than determining the age. There are currently few Limoges reproductions on the market. The Limoges porcelain sought by collectors today was actually produced by a number of factories in the Limoges region of France from the late 1700s until around 1930. Production did not cease in 1930, however.
