THE
MANUFACTURE
RAVEL
Since 1837, Poterie Ravel has been shaping clay in Aubagne, in Provence. It is a unique place, where one enters as if into a family home. Everything is made on site, by hand, with patience and exacting standards. You will encounter artisans at work, pots drying in the sun. In the coolness of the workshops, you take the time to look around, to choose your pot or your bowl.
Poterie Ravel is one of the oldest ceramic manufacturers in France.

BLUSH BY RAVEL
Blush by Ravel is a unique creative space within Poterie Ravel, where traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary artistic boldness. This initiative has given rise to unique pieces, the result of collaborations with renowned designers and artists, who explore the infinite possibilities of terracotta.
Among these collaborations is the Petit h project by Hermès, where Ravel's craftsmen have designed exclusive objects sold in Hermès stores, combining unexpected shapes and materials. The designer Christian Lacroix, for his part, created the "Mythology" collection, mixing traditional techniques with a Mediterranean world. Other artists such as India Mahdavi, Gérard Traquandi, Claire Basler, or Filipe Jardim have also brought their unique vision, enriching the heritage of the manufacture.
These artistic residencies and collaborations illustrate Poterie Ravel's commitment to pushing the boundaries of ceramics while honoring its artisanal heritage. They offer art and design enthusiasts exceptional pieces, evidence of a harmonious dialogue between tradition and innovation.
