Tourron Écorce dinner plate
Hand-thrown, hand-glazed stoneware dinner plate made in Anneyron, Drôme.
Our take
Handmade stoneware means real piece-to-piece variation in glaze and colour — that is the process rather than a fault, but if you want a matched set of eight, order them together, because colour shifts between kiln batches. It also isn't thermal-shock resistant above 100°C, so it won't go freezer to hot oven the way industrial ceramic will.

What's inside
1 component listed · 100% checked against our reference
Broken down per part, because a claim that holds for the body of a product often doesn't hold for its lid or seal. Flags cite EU law, not our opinion.
Body
STONEWAREhand-thrown and hand-glazed, high-temperature firedStructural material, food contact
Clay fired until vitrified, then glazed. Marginally more thermally fragile than porcelain and, when hand-thrown, genuinely variable between kiln batches — the variation is the process, not a defect.

Other claims
Stated by the maker rather than certified by a third party — each one linked to where it's stated, so you can weigh it yourself.
Made in France
Hand-crafted at Anneyron in the Drôme, where the pottery has worked since 1857. The maker holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant state label, which recognises craft know-how rather than environmental or social performance.
