Product Details
Since 1857, Jars Ceramistes has specialised in handcrafted tableware that is elegant yet playful, adding a touch of refinement to any table setting. Made in France, their ceramics are remarkably durable, able to resist cracks, fading, and the stress of dishwashers and microwaves. (You can warm these plates and bowls in the oven, set to no more than 150°C.) This is a result of an energy-saving manufacturing process that fires only once at 1285°C rather than the standard three times. Jars factories also recycle all the water and heat used in production, keeping waste and pollution to an absolute minimum. Their Cantine range features a high-gloss finish, lively colours, and simple shapes that stack neatly.

Why we love it
'Jars ceramics can be spotted in many Michelin-starred restaurants, not just because of their refined, utterly original aesthetic, but their durability. These pieces can go through the dishwasher multiple times a day and still maintain their lustre. The different colours are well-suited to mixing and matching (within a range).'

About The Brand
Jars
Jars’ history spans more than 150 years. Founded by a potter named Pierre Jars, deeply guarded craft secrets have been passed down through generations to make out-of-the-ordinary ceramics and glazes in their factory in Anneyron, France. This know-how has earned Jars prestigious EPV (French Companies of Living Heritage) status.
Since nature is a constant source of inspiration for Jars, they take care to implement eco-friendly practices like:
- Firing their products only once at high heat, significantly reducing energy use
- Recycling water and china clay mixes, ensuring no pollutants extend to the factory’s surrounding areas
- Recycling exhaust heat from the kilns for use in the biscuit (clay) dryers
We love the soft, organic shapes of their Maguelone range, as well as the artfully ‘cracked’ glazes of their Tourron range.
