    Brand story

    Pillivuyt is a French porcelain brand for more than 200 years. At the heart of the porcelain region, Pillivuyt was created in 1818 by Louis Charles Pillivuyt.
    Today, they are renowned worldwide. Two pieces made them famous and are sought after: the bistro coffee cup and the soup bowl with lion head. The common trait of all their collections is a timeless design, from different styles: French chateau, French country home and French bistro.
    Each piece in their collection is expertly crafted, featuring a bright milky white finish. The finish is embedded through the piece rather than being applied to the surface, to create exceptionally strong porcelain. You will notice that Pillivuyt porcelain is particularly heavy: this is why it is durable.
