In the world of culinary porcelain, there is perhaps no history richer than Revol’s. Now, in celebration of a landmark 250-year anniversary, the French ceramic manufacturer has placed tradition at the forefront of its newest collection – French Classics.

Synonymous with style and premium quality, Revol’s marriage of traditional values, constant innovation and creative tableware solutions has cemented their status as one of the world’s leading crockery specialists.

And interestingly, marriage is where the story all began for this industry heavyweight.

The Birth of the Brand

Forged from the wedlock of ceramicists Pierre Revol and Madeleine Carrier in 1768, Revol was founded in the Drome region of south-east France, where it remains to this day. Famed for its rich clays, sands and kaolin, Drôme became the foundation for Revol’s factory, and its primary source of materials for over 200 years.

While the company’s buildings and equipment have since modernised and its premium materials now imported from further afield, Drôme — and the business’s traditional methods — still remain closely tied to Revol’s identity.

One of few porcelain factories in the world to work exclusively with natural primary materials and generate its own clay pastes and glazes, Revol’s manufacturing processes have barely changed over the past 250 years. As such, Revol remains both deeply loyal to its core identity and holds complete freedom over the materials, textures and striking renderings within its porcelain.

At the helm of the firm sits Olivier Passot. A family-run business for the last 250 years, Passot became the 9th member of the Revol lineage to take charge back in 2007. Focussed on producing state-of-the-art product ranges while still staying faithful to the company’s roots, Passot’s newest collection is truly a celebration of all things Revol.

French Classics

Drawing upon the archives of its finest accomplishments from the last 250 years, the French Classics collection combines the best of French gastronomy with the supreme levels of quality that the industry has come to expect of Revol.

From ramekins and Provençal-inspired condiment bottles to lion-headed and Lyonnais bowls, the range beautifully showcases some of the most iconic symbols of French cuisine. All crafted from Revol’s famed porcelain, the crockery boasts legendary durability and non-porous qualities, ensuring it is able to meet the rigorous demands of your kitchen.

As well as the timeless white finish, Revol offers the majority of this collection in the tastefully contemporary colourways of Pepper and Cast-Iron, for those wanting to add a modern twist to even the most traditional of dishes.
