Founded in 1826, Phillipe Deshoulieres is a leading manufacturer of French Limoges porcelain. The company employs a staff of 100 in three modern factories that use high tech methods to transform raw materials into sophisticated traditional and modern china patterns. Fired at very high temperatures, Limoges porcelain resists thermal and mechanical shocks, neither chips nor cracks, and is non-porous, resulting in a high level of hygiene. It is strong enough for everyday use.
