A spokesman told AFP: "The Élysée will stop working with Mug in France," the company allegedly supplying fake products bearing the exclusive Limoges name. Alain Mouly, who heads the union of Limoges porcelain workers, said he was alerted to the problem at a meeting in late August. It has been a very long time since any potter here has made porcelain mugs," he told AFP. "The product has become too dear, it doesn't sell and doesn't fit the profile of Limoges porcelain. He said they had destroyed the offending products and sent 300 other French porcelain mugs to the palace -- without saying where they were made.
