The story of the brand begins in 1850, when a young potter named Jacques Henry fired his first clay pieces in a kiln in Marcigny. Since then, six generations of the Henry family have passed down a deep passion for ceramics and home cooking.
Emile Henry ceramics are born from a love of earth and fire – a true alchemy of raw materials, craftsmanship, and passion that finds its way into your kitchen, bringing with it warmth, aroma, colour, and lasting memories.
Emile Henry celebrates the joy of gathering around the table – the thoughtful selection of ingredients, the slow, aromatic cooking, and the shared pleasure of a meal with family and friends.
Their cookware invites a slower pace, honouring the rhythm of home life. Gently and evenly distributing heat, the ceramic brings out the natural flavours of each ingredient, encouraging mindful, heartfelt cooking.
Made from natural Burgundy clay, hand-glazed, and resistant to both high and low temperatures, Emile Henry pieces are safe for the oven, microwave, and dishwasher.
They offer gentle, even cooking without burning – bringing out richer flavours, juicier textures, and making every step of the cooking process simpler and more enjoyable.
Crafted with the utmost care, Emile Henry cookware comes with a 10-year guarantee. In the brand’s in-house laboratory, a team of engineers works daily to strengthen the ceramic’s resistance to thermal and mechanical shock.
New forms are continuously developed and tested – made ever more functional and inspired by cooking traditions from around the world.
