Tout commence lorsque deux industriels limousins, encouragés par l’accroissement de l’utilisation des services de table en porcelaine, l’adoption du charbon comme combustible et le développement du chemin de fer, fondent une fabrique. Au sein des ateliers, un apprenti est remarqué. Son nom : Léonard Bernardaud. Vingt ans plus tard, devenu responsable des services commerciaux, il s’associe aux deux fondateurs qui ont reconnu en lui le digne héritier de leur patrimoine.
Aujourd’hui, Bernardaud est l’une des dernières manufactures de porcelaine de Limoges dont les capitaux demeurent aux mains de la famille fondatrice, et qui veille à respecter la philosophie de ses prédécesseurs : entretenir et valoriser un savoir-faire, garder intact le goût de l’innovation et être créatif.

A bit of history ... : The great industrial and artistic adventure of the Bernardaud factory began in 1863 in a region that possessed the three elements essential to the manufacture of porcelain: kaolin, fresh water and forests.
It all began when two industrialists from Limoges, encouraged by the increasing use of porcelain dinner services, the adoption of coal as a fuel and the development of the railroad, founded a factory. Within the workshops, an apprentice is noticed. His name: Léonard Bernardaud. Twenty years later, he became head of the commercial department and joined the two founders who recognized in him the worthy heir of their heritage. Today, Bernardaud is one of the last Limoges porcelain factories whose capital remains in the hands of the founding family, which is careful to respect the philosophy of its predecessors: to maintain and enhance know-how, to keep intact the taste for innovation and to be creative.
