It is the totally vitrified and smooth layer that makes the pieces waterproof and more easily washable, whose color and pattern allow you to vary the decorations.

There are several kinds of clay for making ceramics: pottery or terracotta and earthenware are porous, while stoneware (particularly resistant) and porcelain are vitrified and frost resistant.

The only valuable repair, that sustain the foodsafe quality and durability of ceramic pieces japonese art of Kintsugi. Always prefer stoneware or porcelain over pottery when you're aiming at long term use.

In this site there are no third parties, all the price goes to the craftsman who made your product.

in accordance with European regulations, the glazes used are food-grade certified by my suppliers.

in my studio in Toulouse, France. (Almost all known tableware brands, even French ones, manufacture in countries outside Europe, mostly Asian).

The material is stoneware and glaze made in Europe by trusted manufacturers. I use an electric oven, not gas. Nothing is thrown away, everything left over is reused. Shipping is direct from the workshop to your home. I also sell directly at the workshop.

Considering the quality of the material and the process, it is more durable than the majority of industrial products. Stoneware is with porcelain the most durable material. High temperature enamels do not wear. Even blade scratches or scales are hardly visible on textured glaze. I also work for restaurants.

With the exception of the "Gourmandes" and "Colombinées", all the pieces are fully enamelled on the inside for this purpose. Stoneware holds heat very well.

The lip is on the smooth enamel, while the hand is more often on the slightly grained stoneware, which is therefore held more securely, and more comfortably for cups and bowls containing something hot.

My ceramic is ornamental and functional, it accompanies you for cooking, meals, storage and preservation, while offering beauty in everyday life.

Of course! The dishwasher is recommended for cleaning, and the microwave for reheating, or the traditional oven for heating or cooking. see also "is it durable?":

Color rendering varies depending on your screen. The photo of shiny enamels is difficult because they reflect the environment. In the case of iridescent enamel, the appearance varies enormously depending on the viewing angle and the light sources. It is a renewed wonder.

I create special tableware and sculptural pieces in keeping with my techniques, the clays and enamels that I use, and my artistic approach. Please contact me to discuss your project.
