Renowned for their quality and durability, high-fired Emile Henry ceramics have been crafted in the Burgundy region of France since 1850. This four-piece place setting complements a full line of Provencal dinnerware and sets a table with a bright splash of color. With service for one, the set includes an 11-inch dinner plate, 8-inch salad plate, 9-inch soup/pasta bowl, and 14-ounce mug. The Provencal design features a raised rim that is unadorned for a classic, everyday look. All the pieces are solid in color except the mug, which is glazed white on the inside.
Even after years of use, the glossy, translucent glaze on Emile Henry ware won't discolor, crackle, or show utensil marks. Amazingly durable and versatile, the dinnerware is safe for the freezer, broiler, microwave, oven, and dishwasher. Each Emile Henry piece is individually inspected and stamped, and is backed by a three-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
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.
