Ceramic milk jug – blue & green

  • From Mont Saint Michel
  • Handmade and hand painted
  • Original creation

The ceramic milk jug is a classic decor of French country kitchens: it's a lovely reminder of the past country life. 

A couple of French artisans modernized the traditional milk jug. They produce ceramic in their workshop in the Mont Saint Michel bay. All the pieces are handmade and hand painted. 

This ceramic milk jug is made in earthenware (very resistant). The original design includes large handles and an exquisite hand painted floral design. You can use it to store and display your French kitchen utensils, or else as a vase. 

A jug is one of the French kitchen essentials to have: French people love having several French kitchen pots. And some even collect them and mix and match the designs (floral, pure white, rustic…).

Brand story

Founded in 1953, the Faïencerie de la Baie is an essential artisan workshop in the bay of Mont Saint Michel. Martine and Jean Claude Gourlaouen took over it in 1980 and have maintained excellent know-how for more than 40 years. Jean-Claude is an art technician from the Ecole de Sèvres, a university located within the prestigious Manufacture de Porcelaine de Sèvres, in operation since the 18th century.

La Faïencerie de la Baie manufactures earthenware by turning, casting and grading. The decorations are entirely handmade, inspired by Normandy. The workshop carries out all the stages of manufacture: mixing of components (chalk, flint, clay, etc.), turning, casting, grading, drying, firing the biscuit, decoration, enameling and final firing. Throughout the manufacturing process, dexterity and aesthetic sense are essential.

Filled with knowledge and experience that have only evolved, Martine and Jean Claude have passed on their know-how to dozens of apprentices and trainees. There was a time when more than fifteen employees worked at the earthenware workshop.
