OUR VALUES

AUTHENTIC

Our heritage is at the heart of our identity, our roots and traditions are the bedrock of our authenticity.
Our local roots are strong, with fully integrated French manufacturing: from the raw materials (sand, clay, kaolin) to the plate, including the moulds, glazes and pigments, all the manufacturing stages are carried out in Gien, according to unique formulas and know-how that are a closely kept secret.
The Faïencerie de Gien embodies French know-how. A Gien plate requires 26 ingredients, 3 firings and passes through the hands of 30 "master earthenware makers", heirs to two centuries of know-how.

WARM

Unique because of its natural composition, earthenware is a living material with a sensual and warm touch, it creates emotions. It is a material that enhances decorations and creates a convivial atmosphere. The Gien collections offer a style that is both elegant and relaxed.

CREATIVE

A symbol of refinement and the French art of living, the Gien style is identifiable at first glance. With around fifty designs, both timeless and more creative, Gien is the brand of patterns, colors and stories. The collections are as many treasures from the Gien archives as they are contemporary creations by renowned artists, ranging from plates to exceptional hand painted pieces.
