ABOUT GIEN FAREWARE

La Faïencerie de Gien was created in 1821 in Gien in the Loire Valley, in the heart of France.

The 19th century gave birth to numerous production sites, heirs of the ceramists of past centuries. Its bicentennial history is linked to the name of its creator, the Englishman Thomas Hall. Hall settled in Gien and purchased the enclosure and buildings of the Minimes convent located on the banks of the Loire.

Since 2014, Yves de Talhouët has taken over the Gien Manufacture.

Two passionate men, convinced by the exceptional heritage, the excellence of the know-how and the notoriety of the Faïencerie de Gien,  decided to perpetuate the tradition and explore new paths by promoting contemporary creation and setting up a new export distribution policy.

Today, more than ever, the Faïencerie de Gien is part of a program of excellence . A member of the prestigious Comité Colbert which brings together the major French luxury brands, it is labeled a Living Heritage Company.

The women and men of the Manufacture are resolutely turned towards the future to reinvent the fine earthenware of tomorrow while relying on its two-hundred-year-old roots.
