Over a century has passed between Jars' original potteries and its current collections. In 1857, Pierre Jars founded the family company “Manufactures de Poterie Jars ” in the South of France.
In 1900, the company received a grand prize at the Universal Exhibition. To this day, the company has remained true to the founder’s creative vision of turning objects of day-to-day living into works of art, while transforming the functional into the beautiful.
In the 80s, Pierre Jars’ great-grandsons continued the tradition. They modernized the working tools and improved product quality to answer the demands of everyday dinnerware. Pierre Casenove became dedicated to developing a unique identity for Jars in the stoneware family. This combination of know-how, passion for art and attention to detail created a unique “art de la table” concept, one that is in perfect harmony with contemporary lifestyles.
