Frequently Asked Questions
What is Poc a Poc?
Founded by artist Marc Pascual in 1994 in the Burgundy region of France, Poc a Poc is among the most personal and extraordinary expressions of hand-painted Limoges porcelain in existence.
What makes Poc a Poc unique among luxury Limoges porcelain producers?
Poc a Poc is unique because every single piece is still hand-painted to order by artist Marc Pascual himself in his small atelier in St. Estèphe, making a commission an act of co-creation with a working artist. Each pattern is inspired by and named after a world city.
How is Poc a Poc porcelain produced?
Every piece of Poc a Poc porcelain is hand-painted by Marc Pascual personally—a level of singular artistic authorship that is without parallel in the contemporary luxury porcelain world. Pascual works entirely to order, which means each commission begins a direct dialogue between the client and the artist. The process is exceptional because the result is porcelain that is genuinely one-of-a-kind, carrying the direct imprint of a single artist’s hand and eye.
What collections does Poc a Poc offer?
Poc a Poc’s patterns are each named for and inspired by a world city—a creative geography that gives the collection a spirit of cosmopolitan adventure and personal narrative.
