TRADITION AND INNOVATION

JL Coquet was founded in 1963 and has inherited a rich tradition. The manufacture was settled in 1824 in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, on the banks of the river Vienne and just a few miles from the city of Limoges. Many generations of great French porcelain manufacturers, such as the famous Pouyat dynasty, have been living in this lush and green valley. From the beginning, the company has known a great renown and has been rewarded for its shapes creations and the extreme whiteness of its porcelain.

Since 1963, this ancestral know-how has been in use with still semi-industrial tools. However, even for modern creations, tradition is linked to technical research. Museums, such as the "Arts Décoratifs de Paris" or the "Centre National Georges Pompidou", exhibit JL Coquet's creations which are considered as exemplary for contemporary aesthetics. In September 2004, the company was taken over by Christian LE PAGE, already owner of Jaune de chrome. JL Coquet sells 75% of its production abroad, thus being one of the major exporters of Limoges.
