Tulip, official flower of the court of Louis XIV, is a classic heritage of Gien. The black color accentuates the graphic effect, makes contemporary decor and brings a certain boldness and modernity. Located near the Loire Valley castles, the Faïencerie de Gien has been synonymous with prestigious faience tableware and decorative objects since its founding in 1821. Gien pieces are renowned for their warm white clays decorated with traditional motifs reminiscent of the French countryside.
