Handcrafted products made in France since 1850

Emile Henry has always been dedicated to French craftsmanship. They remain faithful to their historic location in Marcigny, in the heart of Burgundy, and help to preserve traditional skills and jobs. Each of their pieces is handcrafted and signed by one of the craftsmen in their workshops.

Built out of passion for the art of combining earth with fire or the art of ceramics, the small business of the Henry family has turned, in time, into a prestigious company which is well-known across the world thanks to the fact that the cookware and crockery manufactured by this company stand out by quality, utility, look and sturdiness, being, beyond all doubt, a brand of good taste and efficiency.
