Even if the personalised porringer remains our flagship product, new fashions and trends are always closely monitored and followed.

 

New creations are presented each year at various trade-fairs including Hexagone in Rennes and Maison & Objets in Paris.

 

 

French stylists endlessly renovate the Breton style, like Sophie Colnet, creator of Lisette dans la tempête, or Jean-Paul David, father of the famous Mam'Goudig.

Notwithstanding its technical and esthetical assets, Faïencerie de Pornic offers a top-grade customer-service: quality packaging, quick delivery, timely production of customised orders...

 

Customer satisfaction can be measured by the very low client turnover: over 50% of retailers have been loyal for 50 years.
