What is the difference between ceramics and pottery ?

While the terms "ceramics" and "pottery" are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to distinct types of manufacturing with unique characteristics. At francecorner.com, we offer a diverse range of products made in France, including both ceramic and pottery items, each with their own specificities.

Ceramics

Ceramics are a material made by firing clay at high temperatures in a kiln. This process creates durable, impact-resistant, and often waterproof pieces. Ceramic products, such as plates, cups, and carafes, can be glazed to add colorful and glossy finishes. Ceramic manufacturing techniques allow for a wide variety of shapes and designs, while ensuring superior quality and durability.

Pottery

Pottery, on the other hand, generally refers to objects made from clay fired at a lower temperature than ceramics, often without glaze or with a very simple glaze. Pottery pieces, such as pots and vases, often have a rougher texture and a less smooth finish than ceramic items. Pottery can include traditional techniques such as hand-shaping and is often appreciated for its artisanal and authentic appearance.

Applications and Aesthetics

• Ceramic: ideal for functional and decorative items, often used in the kitchen and table, offering an elegant and modern finish.

• Pottery: more often associated with decorative or utilitarian pieces with a rustic and traditional appearance.

For each ceramic or pottery product made in France on our site, we have taken care to select for its exceptional quality and know-how, allowing you to discover the unique charm of each technique while supporting local craftsmanship.

How to choose the right pottery for your decoration ?

Choosing the ideal pottery for your interior or exterior decoration can transform a space by adding a touch of elegance and character. At francecorner.com, we offer you a selection of pottery made in France, combining artisanal tradition and contemporary design. Here are some tips to help you make the right choice:

Define the style

Pottery can range from traditional to modern. Determine the style of your interior design: rustic, minimalist, classic or contemporary. Opt for pottery pieces that complement your existing decor. For example, traditional pottery vases will add authentic charm to a classic interior, while pottery objects with a clean design will fit perfectly into a modern decor. You can opt for traditional Anduze pots (Terre Figuière), or for pottery with more refined lines, such as those from Goicoechea.

Choose colors and finishes

Pottery comes in a variety of colors and finishes, from neutral tones to bright colors. Consider the color palette of your room to choose pottery that harmonizes or contrasts nicely with your walls, furniture and accessories. Matte or glossy finishes can also influence the overall look and feel of your space.

Consider Size and Shape

The size and shape of the pottery should match the space where it will be placed. Larger pieces of pottery can be centerpieces on a floor or table, while smaller pieces can be arranged in sets or used as decorative accents. Make sure the dimensions of the pottery are proportional to the space available to avoid it looking crowded or undersized.

Functionality and Use

Some pottery is purely decorative, while others can be used as vases, planters, or containers. Think about how you want to use it and choose pieces that will meet your practical needs while also adding an aesthetic touch.

Craftsmanship and Authenticity

Pottery made in France is often created by local artisans using traditional techniques. Opting for handcrafted pieces not only guarantees exceptional quality but also a touch of authenticity and uniqueness.
