Bio;

Martial Redon was a French porcelain manufacturer based in Limoges, a city renowned for its fine porcelain production. He founded his factory in the 1860s alongside P.J. Gibus, but after Gibus retired in 1881, Redon took sole ownership.

His company specialized in plates, cups, vases, and decorative arts, often featuring underglaze patterns and pâte-sur-pâte designs. In 1896, Martial Redon retired, and his son Joseph Redon took over. The company later merged with P. Jouhanneaud, becoming La Porcelaine Limousine in 1906.

The factory changed hands multiple times before closing in 1938, but it was revived in 1946 by Alexandre Chastagnac, who built a new facility in 1955
