HOW TO RECOGNIZE AUTHENTIC LIMOGES! Whether you are a seasoned collector or just starting out, here’s a few THINGS TO LOOK FOR when shopping for authentic Limoges boxes:ALL authentic Limoges boxes are marked. Boxes without any markings are not authentic Limoges.The wording on every authentic Limoges box includes BOTH words “Limoges FRANCE”. If it only has the one word “Limoges” it is not authentic.A hand-painted Limoges box must include the phrase “Peint Main” or “Peint a la main” which means painted by hand. If a box doesn’t include these words it is not hand-painted, which can greatly affect the value.Items marked “Limoges China” are NOT authentic French Limoges made OF china, they are mass-produced items Made IN China. MORE ABOUT LIMOGES: Limoges is not a brand name, it is a region in France and the only place authentic Limoges porcelain is found. Limoges boxes are typically produced in limited quantities, making them highly coveted by collectors. The limited production ensures their rarity and exclusivity, making them even more valuable over time. Steeped in history, Limoges boxes feature exquisite designs, superior workmanship, and the ultimate attention to detail. They are artfully and colorfully hand painted by premier artists using many of the same techniques that were used during their introduction in the 17th century.ABOUT VINTAGE: When buying vintage items, please keep in mind that you are purchasing something that has usually been pre-loved.
