The entire history of the porcelain industry is told to you. Come and attend guided lectures of the oven and the exhibition «BAIGNOL & Fils».

The Oven of the Casseaux, Historical Monument, is the masterful witness of the epic of the porcelain industry. The exhibition BAIGNOL & Fils takes us back to the time of the pioneers, at the end of the 18th century, during the first kaolin samples, the first cooking and the first innovations in the forms. This presentation allows us to understand how the city of Limoges has developed a whole art, a powerful industry and built an international reputation.
