SUNDAYS AT THE CHATEAU: BERNARDAUD LIMOGES PORCELAIN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- This week I share one of the magnificent cultural treasures of this area of France with you - Limoges porcelain! I've chosen to start with Bernardaud, who have been making porcelain in Limoges for five generations. They also own the Ancienne Manufacture Royale de Limoges, which reproduces extraordinary dinner services which were enjoyed by Louis XV, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. But far from only showcasing their past triumphs, Bernardaud has continued its long tradition of working with great artists, from Marc Chagall to Jeff Koons!
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
In 'Sundays at the Chateau', chatelaine Stephanie answers all your questions about life in the 16th century Chateau de Lalande, and introduces you to the cultural and gastronomic treasures of France ❤️
A very special thank you to all of you who have become Patrons of the Chateau de Lalande. You have made The Chateau Diaries one of the top 1000 Patreon accounts in the world, and have transformed not only out lives here, but the future of this beautiful chateau! I’m overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!

My grandmother’s best friend did the same thing! She only bought one serving in every pattern she liked. She bought a place setting once a year and when you were invited for dinner she’d choose a a particular setting with you in mind. It always made me feel so special when I visited. Really helped me fall in love with porcelain and I became a potter when I grew up! I am so glad someone else has the same idea.
I absolutely love that idea! I always do that with mugs when people come around for tea or coffee, but this has inspired me to go a step further 😄
What a lovely story, Joy.
THAT is inspiring and genius. I hope u don't mind if I borrow the idea
Ohhh will definitely too this! Lovely!
What a wonderful tradition! I love that!
Your historical research, captivating articulate commentary and versatility in your vlogs is masterful Stephanie.
I think her passion is what elevates it that extra little step 😍 lovely to watch
Perfectly said !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
... we know she is a trained Opera singer...😏 aren’t we the luckiest ! 😁
Well said 🙏🏼
I laughed so hard when you were both stressing out with Gerry handling the gold plate.
Got to have a bit of excitement Susan 💝🏋️♂️🏋️♂️
Me too that was and he knew it !! Which made it even funnier
Susan suecooper : Don’t you just love Gerry. He puts joy back into everything.
Yes, me as well!
Priscilla D'Souza thank you so much Priscilla 💝👨🎨💝
Oh Stephanie, I am in tears over your gift from Oliver. I so appreciated my history lesson on porcelain. You truly have been a blessing to watch during my continued lockdown in Austin Texas USA. 💜🤠💐
...and that darling gift plate was encircled with yellow, her favorite color! Well done Oliver ol' friend, well done!
Another excellent and informative edition of the Chateau Diaries! So sad to hear that Oliver will be leaving this week, he brings a radiant energy to the series.
What a delightful episode! The porcelain was incredible and, Stephanie, your delight was contagious! I was so impressed by the depth of your knowledge on this subject. You’re amazing!
How sweet and generous of Oliver to gift you the plate, it brought tears to my eyes I was so happy for you!! Hugs and love!
You are going to be so famous . I see lots of opportunity coming your way. You are so natural 🥰
Stephanie is a Star!
I could not agree more! First, she is so natural, 2nd she educates in a way that does not come off in a condescending way - its just like a great friend is telling you something, 3rd - so is so incredibly kind and POSITIVE!! I cannot think of someone who deserves success more! We love in LaLa Land where its - well, lets just say the antithesis of all that is La Lande and Stephanie- so to see such kindness and positivity- well, very refreshing, especially in such a trying time. 💐
Shannon Tymkiw Stephanie has incredible talent for relaying things back. It’s incredible & the mind boggles at how much work goes into a single vlog especially when she is relating to history of anything be it a piece of porcelain or furniture, or art or a building. Amazing person to have in our lives.
That's so strange - I just commented similar thoughts. She could do her own history channel with the way she speaks, her presence, her articulate speach...any company or a TV Channel will or should reach out to her.
Stephanie - I hope the BBC are watching - you deserve your own series! How kind Oliver is and what a lovely friend!
I’d love for this episode to be accompanied by Stephanie’s tips on buying secondhand / thrift shop porcelain...what to look for, value, etc.
You know it is impossible to buy some Sevres Porcelaine. It is only produce to be use by French officials. But it is possible to buy some antique Sevres pieces from the past centuries. They are so beautiful !!!!
I am obsessed with your channel. I am always mentioning stuff about the Chateau so much so that my family have forbid me from using the word "Chateau" ... so now I just refer to it as the french mansion 😏
I have never had an interest in porcelain, but this video has made me found a new love and interest in it. Before I would have been like....it's a plate why is it so expensive 😂 but now I can see the beauty and history in it ☺️
This girl is simply amazing , you can watch her talk for hours, and I’m usually bored by people teaching me something 😂
I am a restaurant supplier and rep for quite a long list of China manufacturers. Porcelain of this quality is really never used in American Restaurants any longer because of the price. Even country clubs do not invest at this level any longer. I’m guessing one dinner plate from this factory would be $60 to $80 per plate.(retail much more) Truly it is art. I had a factory tour once of the Homer Laughlin China Co. In West Virginia USA and their artists sit at the exact foot powered spinning wheels in this vlog. They let us each do two plates each. As many rings as we wanted to. Then 2 weeks later they arrived to our homes where they had put our names in each plate’s center and fired the plates. Kind of cool. I really like bone china myself. The more bone content the more transparent the plate.
It's 17 minutes past four... but I couldn't sleep again until I had watched...❤️❤️
When I think that Stephanie can't surpass the quality of previous vlogs, here she goes again, leading us to new places of culture, beauty and fun!
Thank you thank you Stephanie. along with Oliver and of course Scotman, for this wonderful insightful episode. I will watch it again and again!
I love that you make a point to use your porcelain instead of putting it behind glass! I have only received porcelain as gifts, but I would love to have a collection as well rounded as yours one day ☺️
Fabulous place. Oliver very kind getting you that beautiful plate
Again another intelligent, interesting, fact based dialogue from Stephanie. I never thought I'd be so taken in by porcelain. Thank you Stephanie. I can't forget Oliver's input. Such a treasured friend he is. Perfect outing for his artists eye.
Yes Stephanie, your friend with his beautiful voice, really helps the video go soundly, it helps to have good support!!!
Love love the factory tour thank you for taking us. It's a good thing you have a Chateau to hold all your different china pieces. LOL
Stephanie ... I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if anyone else mentioned this but ... I think the flowers on the set your parents gave you when you were 22, are Poppies. I could be wrong but Carnation leaves are straight and narrow and not too large. The flower buds also look like Poppy flower buds. :)
How lovely it was for Oliver to gift you that beautiful plate. It really is stunning. This was such a fascinating video. I loved it. Hugs Stefanie. 🤗❤️
I spent the summers with my grandmother on her farm in Kentucky when I was a teenager. She had two set's of china, one Blue willow and the other Haviland, and a full service of sterling silver. When I was younger, before I was a teenager, she only used the china and silver for special occasions, holidays, birthdays, etc., but as she got older we started using them everyday. It was lovely!
Thank you for telling us about making porcelain. I will never regret the cost again after learning about the process.
Hi Stephanie. Thank you for taking the time to make this wonderful history lesson for us. You are a joy to watch and listen to. Be well.
Facinating!! That naughty cup that Marie Antoinette had made was amazing. So funny. Love love love!!
👀
Stephanie, What a beautiful treat and gift you have given us, your audience. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve had the love for porcelain. You are a treasure . Thank you for such a exquisite show.😘 Gerry and Oliver had me laughing so hard that my husband ask me what was I watching so funny.😂 Oliver what a classy gentleman.
Stephanie should have a historical channel. So passionate, her clear voice, knowledge and pleasant presence would make her very popular amongst us history lovers. She should be getting offers from TV channels like The History Channel imo
Stephanie, thank you for another wonderful vlog. I absolutely adore your vlogs where you educate us.... Oliver, what a wonderful friend you are to gift Stephanie with the beautiful plate. Thank you,
Stephanie, you did not disappoint. This video has been worth the wait. It makes me want to build floor to ceiling cabinets and begin collecting these wonderful plates to use and enjoy with others. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Your plan to build a collection of mismatched singles is brilliant. Thanks so much for the history lesson, factory tour, and sharing your own collection with us. Thanks to Oliver as well for his own contributions to the video and your personal collection!
Dont Oliver and Stephanie work so well together. I might be a tad bias because Oliver is soooo easy on the eye and my doesnt he speak so beautifully.....( oops, down girl😁)
They had me in stitches at the factory. And Gerry casually handling the gold plate🤣😂
These vlogs always keep me engaged. 🌺
I'm with Oliver, Marc Chagalls work is so whimsical and wonderful. Love the plates of his.
Absolutely loved this 💛Thank you Stephanie for tagging us along. Informative, fabulous, fun & French 💋👌⚜. Enjoy your stunning gift 🍽. Beautiful blessings Mandy 👑SA
Thank you for this beautiful vlog! I think I like the same set that Oliver was admiring. The colors were so rich and romantic. The gorgeous plate he gifted you is so stunning. Well done, Oliver!!! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend together.
Thank you ..... it was so informative and interesting, how lovely of Oliver to surprise you with such a lovely gorgeous gift
"it's for somebody who's on a diet" I laughed so hard at that one
I have watched the ending 3 times now! Oliver is such a sweet friend, you are so blessed.
Good on you, Oliver for the beautiful surprise 🕊
Loved it - Ollie is a natural on camera 😂 Thanks for bringing sooo much joy ❤️
I agree with Oliver. The plates used at the wedding of your Mother and Percy are my favorite. I surprised myself I loved the Chagall plates. You did such a great job explaining the porcelain. Thank you.
Stephanie, yet again another wonderful informative vlog! Beautiful!
Thank you for the video, especially the Chagall plates. I had no idea that they existed. What a beautiful present!!!
This was such a wonderful treat, Stephanie. I am passionate about porcelain too. I wanted to see all your beautiful patterns. Learning about Limoge history was wonderful. I too was holding my breath when Oliver and Jerry were holding that plate. Thank you again for another great video.
Wonderful episode as always! Stephanie you should have your own television show!
Thanks for another lovely vlog.So interesting and stylish of course.Ollie did very well,best supporting assistant!
I enjoyed this immensely, thank you Stephanie and Oliver. We're in Melbourne Australia and are at the beginning of ANOTHER
6 week lockdown, so your videos are especially welcome (they always are but particularly now). x
Speechless, what could I possibly say. Wonderful.🥰🙋🏼🥰
I know so little about the history of porcelain. That was fascinating! My grandmother loved to paint China. It isn’t famous but it is lovely and we treasure it because it was her outlet of creativity.
Everything was so breathtaking. Oliver is a wonderful person and friend. Scotman is of course a treasure. The joy on your face made me tear up when Oliver gave you the plate. See ya'll soon. Thank you.
Passion is the root of a happy life. Love your curiosity and enthusiasm.
Stephanie you continue to enchant, delight and educate - thank you so much for these wonderful vlogs!
"I beg you please put it down!" LOL I was the child who knocked the mustard jars off the lower grocery store shelves with big boots in the winter. This video makes my palms sweat! More seriously, this is gorgeousness and I appreciate being introduced to it. I'd love to see a mix of French, Moroccan and Indian style plates piled up in a setting. I think I would faint off the dining chair.
What a wonderful tour you gave us!! Thank you! I Now I love Limoges even more!
What beautiful things! Each plate and bowl an extraordinary work of art!! And Oliver.......a friend extraordinaire!💐💞
Once again a wonderfully eloquent presentation of superb research. Brava Stephanie, and with Gerry and Oliver it’s great fun
You are so bright and shiny when you smile! Thank you, for being so wonderful at sharing this spirit, that everyone one around you shines. You are all just as joyous as porcelain!
The relief when Gerry finally put the plate down! Oliver is a darling, I adore him! I think the caliber of your friends & the way they love you truly shows what an amazing person you are Stephanie :) A wonderful episode thank you xx
I love these Sunday posts. I would love it if you could show us the mirrors of the chateau.
This was so awesome! Thanks you guys! Also, Jerry and all three of you had me laughing so hard! Jerry really is hysterical sometimes!
Thank you so much, I learn so much with these videos. Truly inspiring 💕💐
Thank you for such a joyous and informative vlog. I had never heard of this manufacturer before; it is a delight to be introduced to their magnificent work. As usual, your presentation and the information you imparted brought me to another world; far from my usual everyday experiences. Thank you.
Beautiful vlog, I learned so much about the Bernardaud Limoges porcelain. xx
Wonderful--I love Limoge Porcelains. My mother had a set of white with gold rim that had been her mother's, I believe. Porcelain was always my favourite clay body to work with, as a Potter. It feels so smooth running through one's hands on the wheel. Oliver, you are so very dear, getting Stephanie a beautiful, historic plate with her favorite yellow band at the rim, and matching your favorite beautiful piece. Thank you, and much love to all the LaLanders. And Basmaignéers. The BasLaLas!
🙏🏻💗⚜️💜⚜️💗🙏🏻
Love love love this episode definitely one of the best .it will be one of one's I'll watch over and over. Well done Stef.
Great job Stephanie and Oliver, so interesting. I love how you’re not afraid to use these beautiful pieces of art. That’s how to live in the now for sure. 💕 My favourite plates are also the plates Isabel and Percy chose for their wedding day. Thank you Ollie for zooming in on the patterns. Ahh the Art Deco, my mouth was literally agape and touching gift to Steph Oliver 👏
I wanted to buy a service for 12 of basic white dishes and I choose Bernardaud Limoges.
I love knowing they are the best quality for everyday use, even if I'm the only one that knows.
It was interesting to see where they came from.
I love your collection. In Australia I have never seen anything made in France. I buy mix and match plates also from charity shops, and I use daily. Table look always amazing. I wish you could see. If you don't use teapots for cups, plates, you need to wet them few times each year, keep water in jugs to prevent crazing and open display unit door every 6 months to get breeze in side display unit. If you find anything crazed but is beautiful and you like to kept but because of craze you don't want to buy. Put item in water, spoon of baking powder and soak for 24 hours . Most of craze will look white.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I loved this vlog
That was spectacular! Thank you!! Oliver is so charming!!!
Omgoodness.... I learned so many amazing things watching your program on TH-cam. The gift from Oliver was so beautiful.
Thank you for taking us all through the history and making of porcelain Stephanie. It was so interesting. Your own collection of porcelain is truly beautiful and such a good idea to use a mixture of them when laying the table, making it look so pretty with all the beautiful patterns and colours, like a piece of artwork on the table. Oliver and Gerry were a bit of a worry with that china! lol.
I looove porcelain & love Stephanie......this is a "win win" vlog ❤!!! Thank you for all your research it was so interesting. For sure I can not afford anything in the shop but this does not prevent me from admiring & appreciating beautiful pieces of art 😊❤!!!! Oliver had me shed a tear when he gifted Stephanie with the gorgeous plate. My cup runneth over with joy 💓💓!!! Je vous aime xx.
Thank you so much Stephanie, so therapeutic to watch all that beauty and I am discovering so much x
Oh what a lovely suprise. I thought we weren't getting any videos so went to bed early! I only saw half but as always I'm very impressed with how much research you do stephanie. Your vlog is so engaging,fun and informative. I wont be suprised to see you have a cultural/arts history show in few years time🌹
It is so enjoyable to watch how delighted and appreciative Stephanie gets when she is receiving gifts! I wish more people in the world would show a true appreciation as she does!
So enjoyed the interesting tidbits of this gorgeous porcelain. Thank you again Stephanie & Co😊
Put it down Gerry! Wonderful video Stephanie!
Such a treat to see the Limoges Porcelain place. I loved seeing the old porcelain plates ... Awesome history learned. Thank you.
Another outstanding video. I loved it. Thank you Stephanie, Oliver and Gerrade.
Fabulous! Thank you so much for adding beauty to my morning. And educating me on another aspect of wonderful art.
That was super enjoyable...thank you for the tour and sharing your own pieces! Wow, just gorgeous.
I really loved the dynamics of this video with Gerry's wonderful silliness and Stephanie and Oliver's love for art history. This was fun to watch!
O my goodness , how wonderful of Oliver to get you that gorgeous plate Stephanie ! It was a beautiful video and I thoroughly enjoyed it ! Thank you so much !!
Woah I want to go to that museum and see all the artist collaborations! The Chagall plates were so beautiful! Thank you for taking us along!
This is one of my favorite vlogs thus far! I love the new “Sunday’s at the Chateau”! Keep up the great work Stephanie!!!
Dear Stephanie, How fascinating! Your collection is lovely. So much information poured into one video...I loved it❣ ~Joanna♡
Stephanie, this has been an exceptional vlog. You can't imagine how much every minute of the work you put into this is appreciated. I opens up a whole new world! Thank you so very much!
Oh my gosh Stephanie I truly enjoyed this show. Looking forward to seeing your porcelain room in person. Thank you ever so much my Lady for making this lock down not boring. God bless you.
Loved this 😁👏 I learnt so many new things!
Yet again you have made me smile from ear to ear, my favourite way to learn, Jason, Stoke on Trent, England 🤓
Can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed this really well waiting for. You’re a genius Stephanie and it’s pure enjoyment just listening to you talk about anything and everything. More, more, more please.
Yay! I made it to a premier and it’s limoge! ❤️
Gerald Gerald Gerald, I have belly laugh here because of you. I've no words to describe how immensely enjoyable this vlog is. But every vlog is such delight to watch as you don't know what to expect. Love that about this vlog. Free flow and not formatted like any other but the combination of every person's character and expertise that makes this channel makes the most enchantingly entertaining of all!
@thechateaudiaries loved this vlog and I’m quite interested in plates. I see you have a lot of the blue and white in your kitchen. Spode? I don’t know a whole lot about this kind of stuff but my grandmother did and my family is from England. She left me a lot of china that I will have to look into but I do have two blue and white plates that are very very old but they are delft. I’ve tried to look up the markings on the back but it’s hard to tell how old they are I know she told me to take very good care of them. Do you own delft? Stephanie I’m so glad I found your channel I like you very much you remind me a lot of my grandmother in personality and the way you speak. She was my favorite person in the world and when you are talking I can literally close my eyes and hear her. It brings me a lot of joy. 💛
Wonderful video, Stephanie. I hope you continue with the cultural Sundays. :)
Thank you for the wonderful tour of Limoges. That is my most favorite porcelain
