We sell these in my small flower shop and love telling the story. How do we source more? Thanks for sharing this lovely legacy with the world.

Une Vie Nomade just announced selling some old Poterie Renault pieces. We shipped most of the remaining inventory to them and you can purchase wholesale. Cheers!

I use the bowls o bought from you every week. My students ask me, every week, where I got them, and sadly I tell them they're not available anymore. The pieces are beautiful, elegant, and timeless. They have an incredible tactile quality. It is such a shame that the production could not resume. Thank you for rescuing what was there! I treasure the pieces I have.

Fascinating story, Guy.

It takes my breath away, making that discovery. Like rolling back the stone and suddenly seeing inside Tutankhamen’s perfectly preserved tomb.

Dear Alice, your analogy is beautiful. It took me a while to understand what we had uncovered. The logistics that followed made us move tons of goods, without electricity and little manpower, in large part during Covid. To this day over 30,000 pieces, mostly unfinished, remain in the factory.
