Emile Henry and the Timeless Beauty of France

When you enjoy beauty, it’s called taste. When you create beauty, it’s called art. In the kitchen, it’s about both—joy and creation. Taste and art. Some might say that’s poetic nonsense, that there’s no time for poetry in a kitchen full of sizzling pans, bubbling liquids, sharp knives, and buzzing appliances. But they’ve clearly never heard of Emile Henry. French ceramics crafted for passion and performance.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

We are in love with Emile Henry ceramics. Truly. From the very beginning, we’ve been captivated by the tradition, craftsmanship, dedication, and passion found in their workshops in southern Burgundy. Every piece is handmade, unique, and still crafted in the same family-owned workshops established 168 years ago. Founded by Jacques Henry in 1850, the brand remains a family business passed down through generations—a true French dream.

Crafted from the Heart of Burgundy

What enchanted us wasn’t just the values or the art de vivre à la française, but the products themselves. Their elegance, durability, distinctive qualities, and wide range. The secret of EH ceramics begins in the soil—Burgundy’s mineral-rich, limestone-based earth holds a rare type of clay with exceptional thermal properties. This clay forms the foundation of all their cookware.

The Burgundy clay ensures slow and even heat distribution, keeping the dish warm longer. Food cooks uniformly and slowly, allowing flavors to develop deeply and naturally.

Unmatched Durability & Function

All EH products are highly resistant to thermal shock and can go straight from freezer to oven. They’re equally safe under a broiler or in a microwave.

The ceramic is extremely resistant to chipping and scratching, even when using knives or metal utensils directly on its surface. Food doesn’t stick to the glazed surface, and even burnt residue is easy to clean. All items are dishwasher-safe.

Each piece is made from 100% natural materials like clay and water and finished with natural color pigments inspired by nature.
