Designer Pierrefonds

The Pierrefonds factory was a French ceramics manufacturer established in 1903 in Pierrefonds, France.


It was initially founded by Count Olivier de Sorra.


  1. The factory's excellence was recognized with a silver medal at the Exposition des Arts Décoratifs de Paris in 1925, solidifying its reputation as a luxury manufacturer.


The factory began to flourish under the direction of Émile Bouillon, a sculptor from Lorraine, who joined in 1912 and eventually took control of the company in 1937.


  1. Pierrefonds specialized in high-quality stoneware. They were particularly renowned for their exquisite crystalline glazes, often in shades of light to medium blue, sometimes contrasted with ocher or green. Deep blue was a rarer color. These unique glazes were the result of complex chemical processes involving enamels and zinc.
