Philippe Deshoulieres Gift & Registry FAQ

Is Philippe Deshoulieres good for a wedding registry?

Yes — this is true Limoges porcelain, made in France by a family devoted to porcelain for generations. The green-and-gold Arcades collection is our most complete pattern online, from bread & butter plates ($125) to dinner plates ($220) — a registry that builds into an heirloom service.

What are the best gifts under $200?

The gold-trimmed Toscane bread & butter plate ($110), teacup and saucer ($155), and dinner plate ($160), or the sculptural white Orsay plates (from $140) — French porcelain that feels far more extravagant than its price.

What is the best statement piece?

The Arcades oval platter ($625) and grand soup tureen ($1,150) anchor a formal table, while the Jardins de Florence serving plate ($375) and Louisiane roaster ($275) are favorites for entertaining and holidays.

Is Limoges porcelain durable?

Very — Limoges porcelain is fired at high temperatures, making it strong, chip-resistant, and translucent all at once. Pieces without metallic trim are dishwasher safe on gentle; gold-banded patterns like Toscane and Arcades should be hand-washed.

Why is Limoges special?

Limoges, France has been the world's benchmark for hard-paste porcelain since the 18th century, thanks to the pure kaolin clay of the region. A Philippe Deshoulieres service carries that tradition — made in France, made to be passed down.
