French Bisque Porcelain For Sale on 1stDibs
How Much is a 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024One way to identify French porcelain marks is to take a photo with your smartphone or tablet and then perform a reverse image search. Often, doing so will allow you to quickly determine the maker. If this approach fails, explore trusted online resources with photographs of the markings associated with various French makers, such as the crowned N of Sèvres and the H & Co. insignia of Haviland. Another option is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer perform the identification for you. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of French porcelain.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024Yes, some French porcelain is worth something. Specifically, there is a demand for some Limoges and Sèvres porcelain pieces, especially those produced by well-known makers, such as Haviland & Co. and Deshoulières.

A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can give you an estimate of how much a particular piece is worth. Shop a large collection of French porcelain on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 15, 2024To identify French Limoges porcelain marks, refer to trusted online resources. There are dozens of markings associated with Limoges porcelain.
