BIOGRAPHY
Marie-Blanche Darnet was born in the commune of Thiviers in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France, on 7 May 1904.
She was a descendant of Jean-Baptiste Darnet (1722–1781), a military surgeon credited with discovering the kaolin deposits of Saint-Yrieix—the mineral that gave rise to Limoges porcelain. In her nineties, she participated in the July 1997 exhibition dedicated to Jean-Baptiste Darnet, organized by the Lanouaille tourist office and town hall, with support from the Adrien-Dubouché Porcelain Museum in Limoges.
Marie-Blanche Darnet passed away in the commune of Saint-Jory-las-Bloux in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France, on 28 December 2014, at the age of 110 years, 235 days.
