Questions About French Bisque Porcelain
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021Porcelain is created from a mix of specific materials that is then heated at between 2,200 and 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit. Kaolin is the primary material from which porcelain is made (although clay minerals might only account for a small proportion of the whole). Afterward, it is glazed to give a luxe finish. Unglazed porcelain is called bisque. Shop a range of antique and vintage porcelain items on 1stDibs.
- What is French porcelain called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024What French porcelain is called depends on its type. Prior to 1765, porcelain made in France was not true porcelain, as it lacked kaolin clay. These early pieces are soft-paste porcelain or pâte tendre. After the discovery of kaolin near Limoges, France, French artisans were able to produce true porcelain, which is called hard paste or pâte dure. You may also see French porcelain referred to by the region from which it originated. Examples include Sèvres porcelain, Limoges porcelain, Chantilly porcelain and Vincennes porcelain. Explore a diverse assortment of French porcelain wares on 1stDibs.
