Four des Casseaux – Ancien Four à porcelaine – Monument historique

The Casseaux oven museum is a classified historic monument site dedicated to one of the most famous ceramics in the world, Limoges porcelain.
Built in 1900, this so-called “reverse flame” oven measures 20 meters high with a diameter of 8 meters. It could hold up to 15 coins.

This 19th century industrial building traces the history of this art industry through its technical and artistic aspects but also through its social history.

The museum contains a rich collection of archive photographs illustrating the work of workers in the porcelain factories of Limoges. The visit takes place through several windows showing significant stages in the history of porcelain.
