Bernardaud

Bernardaud is a French porcelain manufacturer based in Limoges, founded in 1863 and still owned by the family of its founders. Léonard Bernardaud rose from apprentice to partner in the first workshop, and his descendants turned the company into one of the last family-run porcelain houses in France; Michel Bernardaud, fifth generation, has led it since 1994.

The manufacture produces Limoges tableware alongside decorative pieces, lighting and jewellery, made entirely in France and developed with artists and designers, from Raymond Loewy’s first contemporary dinner service to recent collaborations. Its savoir-faire also reaches other houses: Bernardaud crafted the ceramic components of the limited editions that Pininfarina designed for Lancôme.
