HISTORY/MARKS: Martial Redon worked with Gibus from the mid-1850’s to 1881. Then he took over the company in 1882 calling it Martial Redon Limoges while continuing to manufacture white ware. Martial Redon died in 1890, but the company and its marks were continued by his son, J. Redon, until 1896. By 1906, new owners changed the pottery name to La Porcelaine Limousine and also changed the white ware mark used to reflect this while continuing to use the M. Redon red decorating mark. They continued in business until the late 1930’s. This plate has the green underglaze whiteware MR France (Martial Redon) mark used 1891-1896 as cited by Mary Frank Gaston's Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd edition as mark #2.
