"The Bernardaud factory was established in 1863 by Rémi Delinières. In 1895 Léonard Bernardaud became the partner of R. Delinières in the R. Delinières & Cie. Five years later the company was dissolved and replaced by the new company L. Bernardaud & Cie. In 1919 the company opened office in New York. Léonard Bernardaud died in 1923. The business inherited his two sons, Jacques and Michel Bernardaud. Brothers developed the company introducing porcelain in Art Deco style. The company survived periods of turmoils: the Great Depression and two world wars. In 1949 Michel Bernardaud died, leaving Jacques Bernardaud alone at the head of the company. In 1962 the company's managament was taken over by Michel Bernardaud's son, Pierre Bernardaud, together with Jacques' son, Paul Bernardaud. In 1970 they took over another Limoges porcelain business, the Vignaud factory. In the 1990s the Limoges Bernardaud factory was changed into a cultural center. In 2002 Michel Bernardaud established a Bernardaud Corporate Foundation, which mission is to renew the look of porcelain, reinvent it and explore new territories." (Source: The Old Stuff)
