The manufacturing process of Jars ceramics is reminiscent of the world of cooking.
From horticultural pottery to contemporary collections for the table, the history of the ceramist Jars already counts more than a century and a half. With a specificity: all the pieces are made from A to Z by their care, and in a single material: glazed stoneware. It offers a wider range of textures and colors, for those who know how to handle them with talent. This age-old know-how has earned Jars the rank of French Living Heritage Company. Over time, a collaboration was established with Michel and Sébastien Bras and the designer Élise Fouin. This collaboration has led to the creation of collections - bowls, plates, dishes - that will meet the desires of cooks.
The manufacturing process of Jars ceramics is reminiscent of the world of cooking. This time, the clay is made of earth, and the secret of its recipe is well kept. The molds, made on site with great patience and delicacy, give their shape to the raw pieces. Once dry and polished, they are glazed. To obtain an enamel that will give its color to the pieces after vitrification, we grind, mix, check the consistency and add a little water if necessary. However, there is no question of tasting before the crucial stage where the elements will undergo the test of fire, by passing to the oven for a firing known as "Grand feu" at 1280°C. The magic operates then to sometimes mistreat the intentions, to play with the colors and to reserve some surprises, by creating pieces which will remain always unique, "neither quite the same, nor quite other".
