Limoges Insignia, Marks & Backstamps  

In order to be authentic, a Limoges box must be crafted and hand-painted entirely in the Limoges region of France.  The authenticity of the Limoges box can be determined by its backstamp markings.  The backstamps is normally found at the base or inside the Limoges box.  Limoges producers, workshops and artisans use various styles in marking their Limoges creations.  Some inscribe the Limoges by hand at the base or inside, where space allows.  Others, use a form stamp which is applied to the Limoges under the glaze.  All such forms of inscription renders the Limoges box authentic.

The designation "Limoges, France" on the backstamp is the guarantee of the origin of manufacture.  The words "Peint Main" indicate that the Limoges box is painted by hand.  Some artists include their initials or name in the markings.  If the Limoges box is created in a limited edition, the number will also be included in the insignia.  

Here are some examples of Limoges insignia marks and backstamps by some of Limoges manufacturers.
