Product Description

Marcigny, a small town nestling between the hills of Southern Burgundy, has been home to Emile Henry for the past 150 years. Faithful to its origins, the entire production is carried out here. Thanks to its clay, rich in refractory properties, Burgundy has remained a fertile area for potters, passing on their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Clay, a natural and noble material, has been used since the mists of the time to cook or preserve food. While respecting the traditional techniques, Emile Henry has introduced technological improvements (Ceradon ®) so that the dishes are more resistant to mechanical and thermal shock. Strong, durable, all Emile Henry pieces can be taken directly from the freezer to the hot oven, can go under a broiler and is microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The natural clay is unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. All pieces are perfect for everyday use and carry a 3 year warranty against defects.

3.0 out of 5 stars After about 18 months of using this dinnerware....., November 22, 2008

This review is from: Emile Henry Couleurs Cobalt 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)

I think I can give an honest rating of this product. I love the color, but have been disappointed in several areas. Coffee mugs -- size is great, especially for coffee in the morning; handles are just the right size to get a good grip; however, I have had to replace 4 mugs because these same handles 'fell off.' This is not inexpensive to do, either!!! I had tried to glue them back on using super glue, but this just doesn't hold up. Be careful! Dinnerware did not hold up to silver ware -- scratches very easily, especially if you cut food on your plate, even with just a plain butter knife. All in all, I would NOT recommend this dinnerware for everyday use. Quality did not justify the cost -- I purchased service for 8!!!

This review is from: Emile Henry Couleurs Red 16-Piece Dinnerware Set, Service for 4 (Kitchen)

These are the most beautiful and durable dishes. The color is that of ripe red peppers. The finish has a slight texture so knife marks and scratches do not show. Also, no spots from the dishwasher. And the quality is extraordinary. They are heavy and not easily damaged. My two daughters both asked to inherit these dishes, so I added this set to my set of twelve so they can each inherit 8 place settings... You won't find anything near this quality for the price. I highly recommend them.

LOVE this set!! Absolutely perfect in every way!! Mug is a wonderful, substantial size instead of being a smaller one that would spill over (like my current Pflatzgraff ones), the dinner plate is a good size with a nice lip over the side to keep juices in, salad plate is perfect, I found out that the soup bowl is industry standard size...I'm going to use mine for salad instead - it has a great lip around the width and the width measurement is great but not deep enough in my opinion for soup unless you only have a little amount? It's not enough to stop me from trying to complete my service of 8 though!! The weight & heft is fabulous and the color is an absolute vibrant splash of Cobalt Blue that I can't wait to get my cream colored Pflatzgraff out of my kitchen!!! :-)
