Michel & Valin Limoges Porcelains M60
Michel & Valin was a Limoges porcelain factory founded in 1832 by Michel Aaron and Jean-Baptiste Valin, both of whom had previously made bronzes. The company won a silver medal for decorative pieces at the 1844 Exposition de l'Industrie Francaise. Aaron left for Chantilly in 1845, and Valin continued the company. Valin's son-in-law Berthoud became a partner in 1855, and that year the company again exhibited decorative pieces. The firm was continued by Berthoud from 1864 to 1878. From 1879 to 1886 the company was Delotte & H. Tarnaud and produced mostly tableware.
