Demartial & Tallandier Porcelains d30
Gustave Demartial and D. T. Tallandier formed a partnership in 1867 to produce and decorate porcelain at factory on Rue des Penitants-Blancs in Limoges. They exhibited a range of decorative pieces and considered themselves as decorators, not even using a whiteware mark during this period.
IN 1883 Gustave Demartial became sole owner of the company, Gustave Demartial & Co. He won a silver medal at the Universal Expo in 1889. In 1893 Demartial closed his company and became partners with Legarde & Cox on Rue Ventenat in Limoges; the firm closed c1909.
Demartial & Tallandier Marks and Limoges Boxes
