History of a family of ceramists

Since 1802, the Pichon family has perpetuated the tradition and excellence of the art of ceramics from father to son. In this Gard region, nestled in the heart of Provence, eight generations have succeeded one another, combining the transmission of know-how with a constant quest for innovation.

It's all about authenticity, beauty, creation, generosity and passion.

Today, with Christophe Pichon at the helm, MAISON PICHON UZÈS continues to write its own history, reinventing the art of ceramics with talent, and anchoring itself more than ever in our daily lives. From the world's top Michelin-starred chefs to today's finest hotels, MAISON PICHON UZÈS ceramic creations find their place with chic, style and modernity.

Earth, air, water and fire

These four elements give birth to original creations, always entirely handmade by this family of men and women with ancestral know-how. It all begins with the earth, sourced from Limoges, washed and kneaded to become clay. Then the craftsman shapes the material, taming it with suppleness, turning, molding and braiding it, with minute dexterity, to give it its exceptional shape. Then comes the delicate drying phase, followed by the first firing, known as cookie firing. Finally, the enameling and final firing give birth to these unique tableware items with their unmistakable trademark.

From iconic creations to contemporary tableware

In the mid-19th century, Jean-François Pichon had the brilliant idea of inventing the marble technique. It was these famous pieces that would build the international reputation of MAISON PICHON UZÈS. Highly prized by collectors and exhibited in museums, these vases and jugs of mixed earthenware are now part of France's cultural heritage.

At the same time, the brand developed another unique technique: woven ceramics. A feat of dexterity, these baskets, delicately crafted by hand (by women only!) and now revisited, are back with a vengeance on our tables. A true emblem of the brand, the MAISON PICHON UZÈS woven basket gives your home a creative and modern touch, and all in color, with some twenty shades to choose from. Whether used as a designer fruit basket or as a storage unit, this decorative object on its own, with or without a base, is a feast for the eyes!

The iconic version is beautifully adorned with little flowers,
