Manufactured in the south of France, the Jars factory employs 80 to 90 people, and the production process combines hand craftsmanship with technology and modern equipment. From clay to tabletop, each piece passes through the hands of 17 ceramists before completion. Using the highest quality natural raw materials, the artists create organic, casual dinnerware sets using techniques that have been handed down from generation to generation. Colors are manufactured using minerals and natural pigments vitrified at high temperatures, and their glazes are unparalleled in beauty. The resulting products are ideal for everyday use delivering superior durability.
Jars Ceramics are a wonderful collection for the contemporary table. The images on our site are great, but if you haven’t seen their glazes in person, prepare to be astonished, there are none on the market that compare. Even better, Jars Ceramics are dishwasher and microwave safe.
Jars Ceramics are naturally sustainable, as they are made from natural components. Their stoneware paste is homemade, lead and cadmium free. They recycle excess raw paste, and reuse heat from the kilns in their dryers. Moat important they support local employment.
Tourron is their core collection which is available in several colorways. Many of them coordinate so you can design a wonderful, eclectic table. Jade and Blue Chardon are glazed the same on the inside of the pieces as the outside. Then, Cherry, Ecorce, and Samoa have 2 different glazes on the inside and outside. Cherry and Ecorce are glazed matte brown on the outside, Samoa is matte black outside. Samoa has quickly become one of our most popular colors.
Vuelta and Plume collections are completely different than Tourron. If you love the idea of organic shapes, Plume is for you. Vuelta and Plume are glazed the same in both White Pearl, and Atoll, so the pieces mix and match beautifully.
Vuelta and Plume in White Pearl have such a range of subtle colors in the glazes that they also look wonderful with several Alex Marshall Studios colorways. We would enjoy the opportunity to assist you in designing a special table setting.
