Marcigny, a small town nestled in the hills of Southern Burgundy, has been home to Emile Henry for 150 years. Thanks to its rich clay the Burgundy region has remained a fertile area for potters, who pass their savoir-faire from generation to generation. Today, true to tradition, every piece of Emile Henry is made in Marcigny with rich, Burgundy clay. While respecting traditional techniques, Emile Henry products are 100% natural and boast technological advances (Ceradon ) that make it resistant to mechanical and thermal shock. Strong and durable, all Emile Henry pieces can be taken directly from the freezer to a hot oven (0-500 degrees F), can go under a broiler and are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. The natural clay is unsurpassed for conducting and retaining heat. All pieces are perfect for everyday use and carry a 3 year warranty against defects.
