Gien

Founded in 1821 on the banks of the French Loire river by Thomas Hall, an Englishman from Stoke-on-Trent, fine earthenware company Gien enjoys worldwide recognition for manufacturing the highest quality pottery. Developing modern techniques to complement traditional ancestral craftsmanship, pieces from the prestigious Faiencerie de Gien are renowned for distinctive characteristics including depth of colour and fine shaping. Skilfully hand-applied patterning is exquisitely demonstrated through iconic collections such as the floral Millefleurs and striking Chavaux Du Vent range. Collaborating with designers and artists, offerings include everything from tableware, serving dishes and dinner services to decorative pieces and treasured gifts.
