Over 150 years of experience have made the potters at Emile Henry expert at producing tableware that is as lovely as it is useful. Ever since 1850, Emile Henry has been producing ceramics in the Burgundy region of France from a clay of superior quality that holds up amazingly well to a wide range of temperatures. In addition, the company has developed patented technological improvements to increase the durability and strength of its tableware and bakeware.

The Emile Henry 16-piece Provencal dinnerware set contains four place settings, each with an 11-inch dinner plate, a 9-inch soup/pasta bowl, an 8-inch salad plate, and a 14-oz mug. Ultra-durable when exposed to a wide range of kitchen temperatures, these pieces can go straight from the freezer into a hot oven, and they're safe for use under a broiler or in a microwave. Emile Henry tableware is chip-resistant, sturdy, and lovely.

The beauty of Emile Henry's design is its simplicity; the pieces are solid-colored with simple raised borders on plates and bowls. But the high-gloss glaze and rich, warm Provencal colors--pieces are available in Cerise Red, Citron Yellow, Azure Blue, and Vert Green--are anything but plain. Designed to evoke the sun-soaked palette of the South of France, these dishes can serve equally well as casual place settings for everyday use or straightforwardly elegant settings for holidays and special occasions. Additional matching pieces in the Provencal style include various baking dishes, bowls, and serving pieces such as an oval platter, a pitcher, and a covered butter dish. Emile Henry pieces are dishwasher-safe, so they're easy to clean. The company offers a three-year warranty against defects. --Garland WithersWhat's in the Box4 place settings.
