A Look Into PORTORO Interior’s Signature Porcelain Collection
With its pristine look and timeless craftsmanship, our signature porcelain dinnerware bears the mark of the master craftsmen of Limoges, France
Since we started PORTORO online back in 2020, our porcelain has captivated everyone who has seen different pieces from what has become our Signature Porcelain Collection. Many have told us that they are both impressed and inspired by the exquisite look and exceptional quality of each piece with their different patterns and finishes.
Whether used as individual items for everyday living or as a collective unit for a special occasion, there is no denying that the Signature Porcelain Collection makes one’s home dining experience a more refined and genteel one.
But what exactly sets this collection apart from others? The quick answer lies in its provenance: the forges of master porcelain makers from a region best known for the excellence of its porcelain: Limoges, France.
The Hallmark of Limoges
Since the 12th century, Limoges has established its reputation in the fields of making vitreous enamel (the famed Opus de Limogia used for finishing enameled jewelry) and porcelain.
The impeccable quality of the porcelain begins with the materials that go into its creation, all of which are mined within the area. Natural white kaolin clay is mixed with semi-precious minerals feldspar and quartz to create the pristine, almost luminous look so prized in finished porcelain pieces.
Likewise, the expertise of local artisans - skills passed on from one generation to the next - also plays a role in each product’s lasting appeal, and has made Limoges porcelain sought after globally by those who know and appreciate quality tableware.
Limoges and PORTORO Interior
Limoges is where the very first item with which we began our online retail experience came from: our bestselling Grapefruit Service Plates.
These large, beautiful, unglazed porcelain chargers with an embossed pattern inspired by a cross section of fresh citrus have been used by many of our clients to add an exquisite and timeless touch of French elegance to their tables.

Today, the Signature Porcelain Collection has grown to include the Berries Mini Plate, an unglazed porcelain bread plate sporting the image of a bunch of wild raspberries; the Fig Dinner Plate, a beautiful glazed plate marked with the curves of a ripe summer fig; and, the latest addition to the collection: our Melon Dessert Plate.

Introducing the Melon
Slightly larger than the Berries Mini Plate, the glazed porcelain surface of the Melon Dessert Plate features a pattern inspired by a freshly cut cantaloupe or honeydew at the peak of ripeness.
Its glossy, pristine finish makes it an exquisite backdrop for the vivid colors and textures of both appetizers and desserts, regardless of whether these are from chefs and pâtissiers or lovingly created homemade delicacies from your own kitchen.
