J.L Coquet

History of J.L Сoquet Brand

In 2024, the J.L Сoquet manufactory celebrated its 200th anniversary. Over these years, the brand has gained worldwide recognition and established itself among the top names in luxury Limoges porcelain production. 

In 1963, Jean-Louis Coquet took over the leadership and started a new chapter of success. Since that time, many famous finest J.L Сoquet china collections have been created, and the brand's authenticity was affirmed. It granted the right to bear the ‘Limoges Porcelain’ stamp on all its pieces. This mark is a testament to quality and ensures that every step of production takes place entirely in France.

Distinctive Features of J.L Coquet Limoges Porcelain

The J.L Coquet brand is a perfect example of classic French porcelain craftsmanship. At the same time, this house stands out for its unique approach to creating each piece. Their designs are unmistakable, with unparalleled minimalist forms and bold proportions. Throughout its history, the manufactory has collaborated (and continues to collaborate) with some of the greatest chefs and restaurateurs, like Yannick Alléno, Alain Ducasse, Guy Savoy, and Pierre Gagnaire.

Moreover, J.L French designers invite their HoReCa clients to create their own unique, custom pieces with a personal touch. 

Production Techniques

A hallmark of Limoges Сoquet handcrafted dinnerware is the exceptional quality of their porcelain paste. It is made in-house and aged for up to three months in the cellars of the manufactory. 

Additionally, they use a unique technique of combining biscuit and glazed porcelain to create truly distinctive Сoquet plates. This one-of-a-kind design is made possible thanks to the mineral masks, which protect the biscuit parts during firing. The contrast between matte and glossy surfaces makes these pieces unmistakable, original, and incredibly practical.

Decor 

To create that perfect J.L Coquet dinnerware, the artisans of the manufactory use different intricate techniques, like ribbons, grids, gold and platinum detailing, enamel work, and more. All the works are carried out entirely by hand. We can also meet silkscreen printing at the items. This method allows for the creation of special chrome, embossed, and striking decor for Coquet plates. 

Another exclusive technique of the brand is chromolithography, the way to apply colors separately, layer by layer. Such artwork is truly unique, giving the porcelain a vibrant and exceptionally detailed appearance.
