Bonjour! When we discovered this beautiful traditional French stoneware we both fell in love with it, well...primarily Justin and it was he who encouraged our trip to the factory sale, held only once a year over the course of three days. The factory des Grès et Poteries de Digoin was a family business founded in 1875 but went through nearly a complete transformation by its newest owner Corinne Jourdain Gros who added a new range of colours and shapes. {I'll leave it up to you do the rest of the research into her past and part on google.}
I must admit that visiting the factory was a memorable experience. To be surrounded by all that pottery and to touch many of them for ourselves. WOW! We both noticed the tiny nuances of their character were distinguishable between each piece. Can you believe that all the pieces are shaped and glazed\enameled by hand, making each one unique! Yikes! The dedication artistry and skill is to be admired. We encourage you all a visit!

About the color of the cups, you're right about the reason. They didn't make all the beautiful colors they do nowadays. The factory was not doing well at the beginning of the 2000's and about 10 years ago the factory was about to close when a woman decided to give the factory a second chance and take another direction. She decided to modernize the designs and that's when they started adding the colors. Like you, I never find any other colors than neutrals and browns second hand, the colored items are simply too new. I absolutely loved everything you showed and will go to the vente next year. Been wanting to go last year but am waiting for my kitchen to be finished, it'll make more sense to go then! Thanks for taking us!

Corrine has done some good work! Next year, I’d like to invest in the more intricate pitchers.

Jeni -- We sooo love watching (and learning from) your videos. Also, I may have an answer to your question about the numbers on the base of your mixing bowls. You were wondering why the larger bowls have smaller numbers and why the numbers get larger as the bowls get smaller. I heard that the number denotes how many bowls can be placed on a board in a kiln.

OH, WOW! I would have purchased everything white there. Also loved the big flower pot looking pieces that were blue/greenish but not quite teal. I'm sure you will now look for more of the used pieces after seeing the factory. Please go there again and film it.

Me too Colleen, I wanted everything from that “one section.” 🫶 As much as I appreciate the newer ones, I prefer the feeling of the used ones. I’m so strange that way. It’s a feeling in after.

I really admire the pottery, it's lovely, however they are not entirely glazed which make them rough in touch .

@Frenchcountryfriends 6 ай бұрын

😍 Hi! Yes great observation! The new ones are rough but will eventually soften because of the sandstone. The vintage ones are much softer which is definitely why I prefer those.
