Collection Eyelet
L'Œillet Traditionnel is a collection of earthenware hand-painted by our artisans. It is primarily part of our range of tableware and other decorative objects emblematic of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
The Charolles Carnation arrived at the Manufacture in 1844, in the workshop, and quickly became the emblem of the Faïencerie. This motif is mainly characterized by its red color, but it is also occasionally used on other pieces such as tables, lamps or even the famous glouglou carafe.
The famous and original GLOUGLOU
The glouglou is the jewel of the manufactory, embodying at once a decorative object, a vase, and a carafe. Its distinctive "gurgling" sound gives it a unique charm that amuses and sets it apart from other pieces.
The story goes that the Queen of England succumbed to its charm in 1958, which gives it a popular aura of quality and remains a prized collector's and decorative piece in England. An unusual design perfect for dressing your table in an original way. Carafe made entirely by hand in the workshops of the earthenware factory
