Raynaud has been creating refined porcelain for a century, always in search of elegance and generosity. A poetic vision guides all the stages of the creation of the collections, which surprise by their sophistication, their narrative richness and expressiveness of each of their pieces. High standards are the key word: they direct the creation and production of extremely refined porcelain. This expertise, associated with a keen sense of detail, characterizes Raynaud porcelain, whose excellence is today recognized around the world. There are many inspirations, drawn from art, gastronomy, travel and history, to tell with passion an art of living freed from any conformism and curious about other cultures.ModellingIt all starts in the Raynaud modelling workshop, which works in close collaboration with the design team. The original model of each new piece is shaped by hand by our master modellers. The process is long and complex because, without sacrificing aesthetics, they must anticipate the shrinkage due to the evaporation of water during the successive firings by calculating proportions 12 to 14% greater than those of the final piece. Finally, a matrix or "mother" is made, from which the production moulds will be made. These moulds and tools are then passed on to a factory with the IGP Limoges label, with which Raynaud has had a historical link for several decades. The white porcelain pieces are made there according to very strict specifications and quality criteria strictly defined by Raynaud.The refinement of the decorIt is no coincidence that the IGP label "Porcelaine de Limoges" has been awarded to Raynaud as a decorator, thus enhancing its exceptional know-how as a designer and colourist. Raynaud marks its difference and the exceptional quality of its creations thanks to its perfectionism and its attention to detail. Each new collection calls for the same search for the exceptional in finishes and refinement. From the design studio to the decoration workshop, all our unique designs are the result of the rare know-how that is the pride of Raynaud. Its reputation for excellence has been forged thanks to the richness and poetry of its decorations, but also to the incomparable expertise of its decorators and the meticulous attention they pay to each step of production. The chromolithographyMany of the designs in the Raynaud collection use the chromolithography process. The design is printed by a chromist and then affixed by hand to the white porcelain pieces by Raynaud's craftsmen.Every contour and relief is meticulously coated with chromo. The fineness of certain connections, particularly those around the handles, is incomparable; the delicately cut chromo perfectly matches their attachments. Raynaud is particularly demanding and never gives up on these sophisticated, time-consuming and meticulous operations, which are necessary for the production of refined porcelain.Longjiang is a perfect example of the Vieux Marseille design found on faience dinner services that were produced in the South of France in the 18th century. Chinese patterns were the latest fashion at the time, as Europeans went wild for the Orient and Eastern influences on the decorative arts. André Raynaud was a lover of antiques, and in 1974 he bought a faience plate with a design he admired. He later used it for his own porcelain—finer, more translucent and delicate than faience, making it possible to reproduce the designs and colours in strikingly meticulous detail. This service features six original pastoral scenes, available on all plates and cups, and depicting fishermen in an exotic setting. The rims of the plates are decorated with foliage and birds, and an elegant green trim. Today Raynaud is recreating this emblematic design in an Argent shape—an 18th-century scalloped edge which further enhances the design.Raynaud was established in 1849 and is the only survivor of 11 porcelain factories existing in Limoges, France. After years of research, Raynaud discovered techniques to create infinite combinations of fade-resistant decorations that is still used by porcelain makers. New Raynuad Lojiang dinnerware is inspired by paintings of Jean Pillement, a famed Rococo painter.
