Seignolles

The story of the brand goes back to 1825, when François Baignol set up “La Fabrique” on the edge of the Brigueuil Forest. Innovator and visionary as he was, he pioneered gas firing techniques in Limoges, sparking a veritable revolution in the porcelain making profession. In 1962, Henri Seignolles and his partners acquired “La Fabrique”. Upholding artisanal know-how by producing porcelain manufactured and decorated exclusively in Limoges, J. Seignolles offers a range of creations made of extra white fine china paste. A time-honoredtradition of elaborate inlay ornamentation is combined with a more contemporary collection created by renowned designers for a fresh, modern feel.

The House of Seignolles

Seignolles, also known as J. Seignolles, belongs to the long tradition of Limoges porcelain. Limoges became the capital of French porcelain after kaolin, the pure white clay that hard-paste porcelain needs, was found at nearby Saint-Yrieix in the 1760s, and its workshops have dressed fine tables ever since. Seignolles keeps the whole process in Limoges, from the porcelain body to the final decoration, and works with an extra white paste that gives its plates a particularly clean, luminous ground.

The house is known for classic services with elaborate inlaid decoration. Seignolles also works with contemporary designers on collections with cleaner lines and new colours, which means a formal dinner and a modern table can be dressed by the same house.
