François Alluaud

	François Alluaud François Alluaud (21 September 1778, Limoges – 18 February 1866, Limoges) was a French manufacturer of Limoges porcelain, geologist and mineralogist. He was the grandfather of entomologist Charles Alluaud (1861–1949). Following the death of his father in 1799, who was also named François Alluaud, he took over ownership of the family porcelain factory in Limoges. The company operated its own quarries; a feldspar mine at Chanteloube and a kaolin quarry at Marcognac. He was among the first to study the mineralogy and geology of the Limousin region of France. His interest in geology began by way of investigations of kaolin deposits, the key raw material in the manufacture of porcelain. He was founder-president of the ''Société archéologique et historique du Limousin'' (1845), and in 1860, was appointed president of the ''Société d'agriculture, des sciences et des arts de la Haute-Vienne''. He also had an interest in politics, being involved in the July Revolution of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Porcelain Of France French porcelain has a history spanning a period from the 17th century to the present. The French were heavily involved in the early European efforts to discover the secrets of making the hard-paste porcelain known from Chinese export porcelain, Chinese and Japanese export porcelain. They succeeded in developing soft-paste porcelain, but Meissen porcelain was the first to make true hard-paste, around 1710, and the French took over 50 years to catch up with Meissen and the other German factories. But by the 1760s, kaolin had been discovered near Limoges, and the relocated royal-owned Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, Sèvres factory took the lead in European porcelain design as rococo turned into what is broadly known as the Louis XVI style and then the Empire style. French styles were soon being imitated in porcelain in Germany, England, and as far afield as Russia. They were also imitated in the cheaper French faience, and this and other materials elsewhere. This dominance las ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	People From Limoges A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

picture info	Pottery Pottery is the process and the products of forming vessels and other objects with clay and other ceramic materials, which are fired at high temperatures to give them a hard and durable form. Major types include earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. The place where such wares are made by a ''potter'' is also called a ''pottery'' (plural "potteries"). The definition of ''pottery'', used by the ASTM International, is "all fired ceramic wares that contain clay when formed, except technical, structural, and refractory products". In art history and archaeology, especially of ancient and prehistoric periods, "pottery" often means vessels only, and sculpted figurines of the same material are called "terracottas". Pottery is one of the oldest human inventions, originating before the Neolithic period, with ceramic objects like the Gravettian culture Venus of Dolní Věstonice figurine discovered in the Czech Republic dating back to 29,000–25,000 BC, and pottery vessels that were ...
