Set of 2 tea cups & saucers - Provence
Artistic Collaboration
Since 1821, the Faïencerie de Gien has perpetuated the excellence of French earthenware, combining artisanal know-how, creativity and living heritage.
Gien earthenware is a living material born from the natural alchemy of sand, clay, and kaolin, whose warm and sensual surface evokes a unique emotion.
Our workshop reflects a fully integrated manufacturing process and a closely guarded recipe: each step, from mixing the elements to making the molds and applying the final glaze, is carried out in Gien using exclusive formulas and specific expertise.
To bring Gien's tableware and other items to life, we rely on three precise firing processes, twenty-six distinct components, and the expert touch of thirty master potters, heirs to nearly two centuries of tradition.

A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Isabelle Barthel creates and produces drawings, paintings, and illustrations primarily for leading French luxury brands. Through her artwork and her keen sense of color, she enjoys weaving a narrative through her drawings and the emotions evoked by color.
