The Raymond Laporte factory (1883-1897) Limoges
Heir to the Ardant factory, of which he was the son-in-law, Raymond Laporte, associated with his father-in-law since 1878, took it over under his own name in 1883. He continued his father-in-law's traditions with dignity. The company focused primarily on decorative objects, reissuing many of those developed by the Ardant factory and continuing the collaboration begun between porcelain and sculpture. To complete his cookie models, he called on other sculptors of the period, such as Joseph Chéret, Sylvain Kinsburger, Hector Lemaire, Hippolyte Moreau and Henri Plé. We learn from the report on the Amsterdam World's Fair that this factory used only one wood-fired kiln, at a time when coal-firing was becoming widespread. The result was a superb white. A year before his death in 1898, he sold his business to Langle et Poinsot, who sold to Serpaut in 1919.
The factory won silver medals at the 1883 and 1889 Universal Exhibitions.

Louis-Simon Boizot (1743-1809) and the Manufacture de Sèvres
La leçon à l'Amour, sculpture based on a model by Louis-Simon Boizot, a renowned French sculptor who was appointed director of the sculpture workshop at the Manufacture de Sèvres in 1774 until his death in 1809. His style was greatly appreciated by the public for its neo-classical subjects, an innovative style for the time, which, under the direction of Louis-Simon Boizot, breathed new life into the creation of the Manufacture de Sèvres.
Created for the Manufacture de Sèvres in 1794, this work depicts an allegorical scene in which a woman dressed in antique style sermonizes Cupid.
A counterpart exists to this sculpture, entitled "La leçon de l'amour", in which Cupid lectures the young woman. These sculptures were so popular that they were produced in cookie porcelain and bronze, and presented on decorated bases or pendulums.
