A Family Matter for Almost 170 Years

From the young potter Jacques Henry in 1850 to Emile and then Jean-Baptiste Henry, six generations have passed the torch from father to son, each driven by two passions: ceramics and home cooking.

FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE TABLE

It's all about taste

Like you, we love to linger over each step, from the meticulous choice of ingredients to the slow revelation of flavours throughout the cooking process... to the moment when the dish is enjoyed with family and friends. That is why we are so proud to be by your side as our cookware enables you to bake, roast or grill these creations that you love to share so much.

OUR CREATIONS

An ode to gentle cooking

Our dishes are designed to hold and cook your ingredients, reveal their flavours and nuances, blend without binding, sear without shocking. Thus, our pieces spread the heat delicately and uniformly, for (very) gentle cooking.

This gentleness is also a right: the right to take the time to cook and to enjoy. Cooking that is hand-made, without any need for big or small occasions—simply the joy of being together. Dishes that simmer while you solve the world’s problems over a kitchen table still covered in flour. Aromas that waft through the house, intermingling with the joyful sounds of life.

OUR INSPIRATIONS

A tale of alchemy

Each of our ceramics is born from alchemy. That of Earth—untreated clay which is the basis of ceramic slip, a thick, living fluid—and that of Fire, which transforms it, making it strong and hard. That of dazzling coloured oxides and the glazes that they colour. Finally, that of the heart (passion) and savoir-faire (hands) of our craftsmen.
