EXPERTISE
Our products are made by hand in our workshop in Desvres. Our earthenware is unique and made in the purest tradition of the Desvres earthenware factories of yesteryear. All the manufacturing steps are carried out in the workshop using the casting method in plaster moulds.
The earthenware casting paste is prepared on site. The firings are carried out in the workshop in our ovens and the shaping of the pieces is carried out by hand by our teams.
The decoration is applied piece by piece, by hand and using a transfer technique, just before the third and final firing.

Composition
Our earthenware pieces are made of natural and sustainable components.
The biscuit is made of 100% earthenware and the enamel we apply is transparent. It is suitable for food use. It meets European standards, i.e. lead and cadmium free.
The color of Des Rêves earthenware is that of the natural earthenware that we prepare. We do not use dyes or tinted enamel to give this cream color to our pieces.
Each product is unique. As part of a handcrafted production, it is possible that slight color variations exist on the same model.

Rouen decor
The creation of this decor was made possible thanks to the benevolence of the Desvres Ceramics Museum, which gave us access to its archives. This is how the Rouen cornucopia pattern inspired us to launch the first decor in the Des Rêves collection.
Magnified, lightened and showing the heart of a traditional design executed for decades in Desvres, this decor is more topical than ever.
Our pieces are inspired by traditional decorations and all our earthenware is handmade in our workshop, in Desvres.

Usage tips
Our parts can be washed in the dishwasher and support the microwave.
