Talent, creativity, resilience, conviction. These four words contain the life and creative credo of Marie Daage, a French artist, designer and entrepreneur. For more than 30 years, she has been designing paintings and producing collections of porcelain tableware under the Marie Daâge brand logo.
In the late 1980s, she restored fame and prestige of Limoges porcelain, when France and Europe was flooded with Chinese fakes a` la francais. It is no coincidence that in 2012 Marie Daage was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor for her services to the preservation of the cultural heritage of France, which is Limoges porcelain.
And once it all started in a small Parisian workshop on Rue Rivoli… But before that, there was the sunny island of Martinique, where Marie grew up. Her father, a Frenchman, was a botanist and traveled all over the world, introducing his daughter to a variety of cultures. Marie’s mother, an Austrian, instilled in her daughter a taste for history, beauty and design. Marie still remembers trips with her mother to Paris, where they spent hours looking at patterns on fabrics, sorting out shades and patterns. At the age of sixteen, Marie leaves to study in Paris and at the Louvre School chooses porcelain as her specialization.
In a small workshop, she draws sketches of future paintings, invents and makes forms… Once a week she takes her “pots” to bake in the oven with her old teacher. The master teaches Marie the secrets of the craft: how to mix powders, how to lay gold, how colors react with each other… Marie develops her own special, light, noble style. And then she discovers Limoges…
Over 30 years of creativity, Marie Daage has created over 90 collections, each of which can be made in any of the 65 colors of the Marie Daâge palette!
Marie Daage cannot be driven into the framework of the total look – her sources are too complex and rich. Her table setting is as eclectic as her taste. She knows how to set the table with the same items every time in a new way.
