Origin & Maker
Founded in 1821, Faïencerie de Gien has been a treasured name in French pottery, crafting distinctive, high-quality faience in the heart of France. Established by Englishman Thomas Hall in the town of Gien on the banks of the Loire River, Gien was originally inspired by the richly decorative English earthenware of the time. The factory quickly established its own reputation, blending English techniques with a uniquely French aesthetic that has become renowned worldwide.
Gien’s pieces are characterised by vivid, hand-painted designs that reflect the history, culture, and natural beauty of France, often inspired by traditional French and Renaissance patterns. The brand's collections feature a wide array of designs, from classic florals to intricate hunting scenes and contemporary Art Deco motifs. One of the brand’s hallmarks is its exceptional craftsmanship, which ensures that each piece is not only visually captivating but durable and timeless.
Among Gien’s notable patterns is “Oiseaux de Paradis” with elegant bird motifs and “Pont Aux Choux,” known for its simple, understated charm. Collectors and enthusiasts alike cherish Gien faience for its heritage and artistry, as each piece combines beauty, function, and the enduring spirit of French craftsmanship.
