Louvre

Bernardaud China may appear delicate, but is in fact the hardest-wearing of all ceramic tableware. It owes its resilience to the fact that it is fired at much higher temperatures than other ceramics, including earthenware, vitreous porcelain, or bone china. The fusion of materials at such a high temperature eliminates any porosity, and results in a china renowned for its finesse, luster, and transluscence. Bernardaud China uses only the finest quality 20 - to 23 - carat gold and the richest grades of platinum to decorate its dinnerware patterns. Both gold and platinum are specially adapted for use on china, for the ultimate in wear, flexibility, and practicality. Every year, Bernardaud China uses hundreds of kilos of gold to embellish its designs, lending every gold-accented pattern its inimitable stamp of authenticity.
