I AM MARRIED AND WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN, A BOY AND A GIRL. I'LL SOON BE 40 YEARS OLD AND I SHARE MY TIME BETWEEN MY FACTORY AND MY FAMILY.\n\nBUT, THIS IS ENOUGT TO SPEAK ABOUT MYSELF.\n\nIF I SEND YOU THIS PRESENT, I THINK THAT YOU WILL EASILY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE VERY SPECIAL FOR ME, I AM ALSO SURE THAT YOU ARE VERY IMPORTANT FOR MOST OF YOUR FANS AND THAT IS WHY WHEN FEW YEARS AGO I HAD THE IDEA TO MAKE SOMETHING FOR YOU I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AS SPECIAL AS I WOULD. BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT SO FAST, AND I THOUGHT THAT IF I DON'T TRY NOW I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT LATER, AND THE FACT I DESIGNED THIS PLATE AND COFFEE CUP MADE ME FEEL THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT OCCASION FOR ME TO SEND YOU THIS VERY PERSONAL PRESENT.\n\nI HAVE BEEN BEWITCH WHEN I FIRST HEARD YOUR MUSIC AND YOUR VOICE AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL THESE EMOTIONS YOU ALWAYS GIVE ME. THIS IS WHY I AM VERY KEEN ON SENDING YOU THESE ITEMS AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL ENJOY USING MY PORCELAIN IN YOUR HOME DINNER. IF IT IS THE CASE AND IF YOU JUST HAVE A SMALL THOUGHT, I WILL BE THE HAPPIEST GUY... (EVEN BETTER IF YOU LET ME KNOW WHETHER YOU HAVE LIKED IT OR NOT). \nAS I DON'T KNOW YOUR INTERIOR I HAVE CHOSEN TO LET THE PLATES IN WHITE AND TO MAKE THE RIM AND YOUR INITIALS IN MAT PLATINUM (NO NOT USE MICROWAVE) WITH THE SAME CALLIGRAPHY AS REALITY.\n\nI BRING TOGETHER WITH THE PORCELAIN MY CATALOGUE IN ORDER FOR YOU TO SEE WHAT I AM DOING AND IF YOU NEED MORE PLATES OR DIFFERENT ONES, CUPS, MUGS OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE AN OPEN FREE CREDIT IN MY COMPANY JUST SEND ME AN EMAIL OR RING ME AT THE PHONE I WILL ALWAYS DO MY BEST FOR YOU. \n\nI WISH YOU AN HAPPY NEW YEAR AND AN HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY.\n\nTAKE CARE OF YOU\nLOVES FROM LIMOGES\n\nFREDERIC\n\nI APOLOGIZE FOR MY ENGLISH BYT MY FRENCH IS MUCH BETTER.

IN AN ALREADY MODERN SPIRIT, SHE SENT HER SON FREDERIC LEGRAND AWAY TO STUDY IN ENGLAND.\nBACK IN LIMOGES IN 1904, FREDERIC LEGRAND SET UP A CHINA BUSINESS. IN THE 20S, HE ALSO OPERATED A CHINA ELECTRIC PART BUSINESS  AS CHINA WAS THE BEST INSULATING MATERIAL AT THE TIME. LEGRAND GREW TO BECOME THE LARGEST ELECTRIC DEVICE COMPANY IN THIS WORLD.\nHIS DAUGHTER, PAULE, MARRIED AN ANDRE LEBOUC, AN ARTS ET METIERS ENGINEER, WHO BECAME THE MANAGER OF THE LEGRAND COMPANY. \nAFTER THE WAR, THE LEGRAND COMPANY WAS SOLD. IN 1949 WITH HIS SON HUGUES, ANDRE LEBOUC SET UP A PILOT CHINA PLAN, WHICH WAS EXEMPLARY BOTH IN TERMS OF MANUFACTURING PROCESSES AND IN TERMS OF THE WIDELY IMPROVED WORK CONDITIONS: THE PORAL PLANT. INAUGORATED BY HIGH-RANKING OFFICIALS, THE PORAL PLANT WAS THE FIRST PLANT OPENED IN LIMOGES AFTER THE WAR, AND BENEFITTED BY ORIGINAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE FUNDING.\nIN LATE 1953, ANDRE AND HUGHES LEBOUC LEFT PORAL TO SET UP THE PORCELAINE LEGLE COMPANY. HUGHES LEBOUC PIONEERED AND DEVELOPED NEW PROCESSES TO IMPROVE DECORATION AND ALSO DEVELOPED SIMULTANEOUSLY A TILE MANUFACTURING PLANT. \n\n<i>FROM AVANT-GARDISM TO CONTEMPORARY, A TIMELESS PASSION FOR CHINA. </i>\n\nTODAY AS IN MARIE OLYMPE'S WORKSHOP, MAN STILL SEDUCES MATTER AND COLOURS AT THE PORCELAINE LEGLE. CERAMISTS AND ENAMELLERS WORK WITH THE SAME METICULOUSNESS, CONTINUING A PRESTIGIOUS KNOW-HOW, WHILE USING STATE-OF-THE-ART PROCESSES, WHICH ARE PORCELAINE LEGLE'S TRADEMARK.\nFREDERIC LEBOUC, THE SON OF HUGHES AND THE GRANDSON OF ANDRE LEBOUC, TOOK UP THE TORCH. HE HAS LEARNED EVERYTHING AT HIS FATHER'S SIDE, FOR 20 YEARS, AND STARTED MANAGING IN THE COMPANY WHEN HIS FATHER DIED IN 2000.\nIN LINE WITH HIS ILLUSTRIOUS FOREBEARS, HE HAS UPDATED THE MANUFACTURING CHAIN ENTIRELY, DESIGNED AND LAUNCHED NEW COLLECTIONS, STILL IN THE SPIRIT OF CONQUERING AND CONTROLLING THE SHARP FIRE COLOURED MATTER AND ENAMELS THAT MAKE LEGLE FAMOUS. \nWITH A PASSION FOR THE STORY OF HIS AND HIS FAMILY'S COMPANY, HE CAN TALK FOREVER ABOUT WORKING MATTER, COLOUR AND PORCELAINE LEGLE'S PERMANENT SEARCH FOR NEW SHAPES AND PROCESSES. VALUABLE EXPERTISE AND A HISTORIC FLAME TURNED TOWARDS THE FUTURE AND APPRECIATED WORLD-WIDE. \n\nCONCEPTION: LA GRAPHISTERIE - PHOTOS: DOMINIQUE MORAND - STYLISME: CECILE MOREL - REDACTION: CLAIRE BOUCHAREISSAS\n\nPORCELAINE LEGLE\n11 RUE DES TROIS MAISONS\n87000 LIMOGES, FRANCE\n\nT (33) 05 55 50 32 80\nF (33) 05 55 50 22 74\nWWW.LEGLE.FR\n\n\n","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Printed across the gatefold pages of the Legle brochure.
