Founded by François Frédéric Lanternier, the family business expanded significantly when his son Alfred joined the company in 1890, under the name A.

As the business grew, it partnered with M. Breuil around 1885 to take over the Chabrol factory, before expanding its industrial facilities in 1890. Through its commitment to porcelain quality and richly detailed decoration, the manufactory contributed to the growing reputation of Limousin tableware, particularly prized during the Belle Époque.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printemps tardif","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59106689352015,"sku":"PT-COM-0002","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2565\/6655\/files\/presentoir-gateau-lanternier-10.jpg?v=1791894159","url":"https:\/\/printempstardif.fr\/en\/products\/presentoir-a-gateau-manufacture-a-lanternier-limoges-1re-moitie-du-xx%e1%b5%89-s","provider":"Printemps Tardif","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
