Bernardaud

Bernardaud is a French porcelain manufacturer based in Limoges, known for producing fine hard-paste porcelain tableware and decorative objects in the Limoges tradition. The company was founded in 1863 by the Bernardaud family and remains independently owned.

Production takes place in Limoges, where Bernardaud maintains a largely vertical operation, from material preparation and forming to glost firing and meticulous glazing and hand-painting. The firm combines time-honored techniques with contemporary design partnerships.

Product lines cover dinnerware, serviceware, vases, and figurines, offered in both classic and modern patterns. Bernardaud also collaborates with designers, artists, and brands to produce limited editions and commissioned works.

Internationally, Bernardaud distributes its porcelain to retailers, hospitality clients, and collectors, maintaining a presence in markets across Europe, North America, and Asia.

Fondation Bernardaud, established by the company, supports contemporary ceramic art through exhibitions, residencies, and programs that foster the development of the medium.
