Fine earthenware from Gien is unique thanks to its natural composition and the quality of its creations and shapes. The paste, the molds and the enamels are entirely designed and manufactured at the Faïencerie. All stages of production, from the pile of soil to the plate, are carried out there. A Gien plate requires 26 components and passes through the hands of 30 "master potters", heirs to 200 years of know-how.
