About Manufacture de Digoin
Manufacture de Digoin is a French pottery company that has been producing stoneware and earthenware since 1875. The company is located in the town of Digoin in the Burgundy region of France, and its products are renowned for their high quality and durability.
The history of Manufacture de Digoin dates back to the late 19th century, when the company was founded by a group of local entrepreneurs. The company initially produced simple stoneware and earthenware objects such as plates, bowls, and pitchers, which were sold to local farmers and other customers in the region.
Over time, the company expanded its product line and began to incorporate more intricate designs and patterns into its pottery. Today, Manufacture de Digoin produces a wide range of stoneware and earthenware objects, including baking dishes, casseroles, serving platters, and decorative objects such as vases and candleholders.
One of the distinctive features of Manufacture de Digoin pottery is its use of natural materials and traditional techniques. The company uses locally-sourced clay and other materials, and its pottery is fired at high temperatures to create a dense and durable finished product. The pottery is also often handcrafted, with skilled artisans using techniques such as wheel-throwing and glazing by hand to create unique and individual pieces.
In recent years, Manufacture de Digoin has experienced a resurgence in popularity, as consumers have become more interested in traditional crafts and handmade objects. The company’s pottery is now sold in a variety of upscale boutiques and department stores throughout France and around the world, and it remains a symbol of high-quality French craftsmanship.
About stoneware
Stoneware is a type of pottery that is fired at a high temperature, typically between 1,200 and 1,300 degrees Celsius (2,200 and 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit). The result is a dense, hard, and durable ceramic material that is resistant to chipping and scratching. Stoneware is often used for making functional objects such as plates, bowls, and mugs, as well as decorative items like vases and sculptures.
The raw materials used to make stoneware pottery typically include clay, feldspar, and silica. The clay used for stoneware is usually a mix of different types of clay, which gives the finished product its characteristic strength and durability. The addition of feldspar and silica helps to reduce the shrinkage that occurs during firing and improves the overall quality of the clay.
Stoneware is often glazed, which gives it a smooth and shiny surface that is easy to clean. The glaze also helps to make the pottery more resistant to staining and moisture. Stoneware can be glazed in a variety of colors and patterns, allowing for a wide range of decorative possibilities.
