About Lithophanes
Bernardaud’s lithophanes are made from very thin translucent porcelain that shows beautiful, detailed designs when lit from behind. These designs look almost like pictures, brought to life by the light. The pieces are often used as candleholders or decorative lights, creating a soft, warm glow. The designs include scenes like the Nativity, nature, or artistic patterns, and they are crafted with great detail. Many lithophanes now use safe LED lights, making them easy to use while still looking elegant. Bernardaud, a famous maker of Limoges porcelain, uses this special technique to combine traditional art with modern style.
