An old postcard from the Four des Casseaux Museum in Limoges shows a photograph by Paul Colmar: factory workers packing the kiln for the second firing, which takes place at between 1100 and 1480 degrees Celsius, depending on the type of porcelain. Loading and unloading the large kiln was men's work. Rue Donzelot, Limoges, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France
