French earthenware

This region has held the distinction of being a center for earthenware and sandstone since the 18th century.

In 1924, Emile Tessier swiftly introduced the innovative technique of "ajourage" (openwork), catapulting his creations to fame. We uncovered vintage pieces in his workshop, still awaiting enameling—a collection of dishes, vases, and pitchers as timeless as they are exquisite.

Contemporary pieces continue to be crafted with local clay by Stephane, who assumed control of the workshop from his parents. The earth, once gathered, undergoes a unique process: it is sieved, worked, and left to dry for 2 years on-site, a practice entirely unparalleled in France today.

With passion and patience, Stephane thus preserves an ancient and majestic craftsmanship, ensuring its continuity.
