Ceramic canister royal blue – French pottery

  • From Mont Saint Michel
  • Handmade
  • Hand-painted

In the Mont Saint Michel bay, a traditional earthenware workshop creates French pottery since 1953. All the pieces are handmade and hand painted (jugs, dinnerware, bowls…) by a French couple of talented artisans.

This round ceramic canister is versatile.  As it is made in earthenware, it is very resistant and non-porous, so it can be used as a jar for biscuits, sugar, or flour for example. You can also display it in your kitchen or living room, as a French country style decor. 

And what about collecting and mixing several colors? This lovely round canister with a hand-painted floral decor also exists in pink and green, and blue and green.

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.
