Limoges Porcelain - Coiffe - Description

L. Coiffe leased the porcelain factory, previously built by Gustave Paturet in 1862, located at 26 rue Aigueperse in Limoges. Coiffe and Company produced whiteware blanks and tableware. Pieces were decorated in house and by other decorating workshops.

The porcelain manufacture was established in 1872 in the building rented by Jeune Coiffe at 66 rue de Paris. Earlier the building was occupied by Charles Feild Haviland.

The firm Coiffe et Cie was in 1875 joined by Pierre Chabrol and in 1878 joined Tournon and Simon. In 1888 Coiffe and Chabrol became again the only shareholders. In 1895 the Laviolette joined the company and in 1896 he was already the only owner.
