Museum housing an old 19th century kiln, classified as a historical monument, to learn more about the manufacture of porcelain.

This museum, run by the Espace Porcelaine association, houses a former 19th-century round kiln, listed as a Monument Historique. 20 meters high and 7 meters wide, this remarkably well-preserved vestige, unique in France, gives an idea of the human activity and mastery of fire required to operate this brick monster, which fired 15,000 pieces of porcelain simultaneously. To get the most out of the site, we recommend a guided tour, which is highly instructive.

Très bel endroit, une tablette explique tout le fonctionnement du four, l’histoire de la porcelaine et les différentes taches qu’accomplissaient les ouvriers.
Les outils sont encore sur places avec des livres pour comprendre leur utilité.

Une découverte ludique inattendue ???? quel plaisir d'avoir eu la chance d'entrer dans l'histoire des Fours Casseau pour comprendre comment la réputation de Limoges a été bâtie et grâce à qui. Une tablette tactile absolument bien pensée et un voyage dans le temps pour en apprendre sur la réalisation des célèbres poteries de Limoges ????
