Experts would identify this substance as kaolin..The discovery of kaolin in France marked the birth of industrial and cultural significance of Limoges porcelain..Two enterprising industrialists, noticing an increase in consumer use of porcelain dinner services, open a factory in Limoges in 1863..A workshop apprentice named Léonard Bernardaud distinguished himself among the workers. Twenty years later, he would be promoted to head of sales and later named partner..Léonard Bernardaud acquired the company in 1900 and gave it his name. He increased production capacity of the factory and opened up new markets, notably in the United States.
