Authentic
Our heritage is at the heart of our identity. Rooted in two-hundred-year-old traditions, the Gien Pottery draws on its heritage and know-how to create exceptional pieces, unique in their quality and aesthetic identity.
The manufacturing process is entirely integrated and French, from raw materials to the finished plate. In Gien, 30 master potters perpetuate rare techniques and exclusive formulas, giving rise to creations requiring 26 components and three firings, true symbols of French artisanal excellence.
Warm
Unique in its natural composition, earthenware is a living material with a sensual and warm feel, a true source of emotion. It enhances décor and creates welcoming atmospheres where elegance is expressed naturally. Gien collections thus embody a style that is both refined and relaxed.
Creative
A symbol of refinement and the French art of living, the Gien style is instantly recognizable. Boasting some fifty designs, both timeless and more creative, Gien is synonymous with pattern, color, and story. The collections are a treasure trove drawn from the Gien archives as well as contemporary creations by renowned artists, ranging from plates to exceptional hand-painted pieces.
A sustainable brand
In its very manufacturing principle, the Faïencerie de Gien contributes to a circular and virtuous economy:
• 100% French manufacturing, with careful selection of materials and control of all stages of production (including the clay, molds, glazes, etc.)
• Systematic recycling of over 95% of waste, which is notably reintegrated into the dough manufacturing recipe
• Production of quality items, whose lifespan allows for responsible use and their transmission
• Revaluing unique objects that lie dormant in the factory's attics through upcycling projects, to give them a new life.
