<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Warshaw, post: 9708081, member: 16674&quot;]Bronwen you&#039;re fantastic.&nbsp; I confess I didn&#039;t catch on at first, and then I went back to what little I have gleaned about him.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;at the age of 36, he [Camille Tharaud] was seriously injured in the head. Evacuated to Paris, he obtained convalescence leave which he spent in Limoges. It was at this time that he had the opportunity to work with porcelain1.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;... January 29, 1920, this factory founded in 1854 but abandoned for 35 years, located rue du Calvaire...</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;His first research directed towards colored pastes, started in 1915 during his convalescence, would lead him to decoration by colored enamels. Instead of coloring a thin layer of paste or painting on an already hardened enamel, Camille Tharaud succeeded in coloring the enamel in its thickness&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that is where the Jesus Christ logo comes from.&nbsp; Surviving the Great War, his recovery from his head wounds, his development of coloured thick enamels, his undoubted Catholic upbringing, and finally the address of the factory where made his discovery, rue du Calvaire.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this is his first Trade Marque.&nbsp; And I wouldn&#039;t have got there if you hadn&#039;t mentioned Jesus.&nbsp; Being a Jewish atheist my mind didn&#039;t give it a though that the ring was a halo.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, Bronwen, thank you very much. I don&#039;t know if anybody else will agree; but it justifies me spending money on the object as being the fruits of his labour.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
