We can also arrange to ship to distributors in the USA and overseas directly from our suppliers in France or from our Chicago inventory.

We are also looking for affiliates to help sell our products, either physically or online and we pay a good and honest commission.
When I moved to the USA with my husband in 2000, we took our clay cookware and bake ware with us; we could not cook without them, seriously! Our friends always love the food we cook with these clay cookware and praise their beauty and the great concept of "oven-to-table cookware". They are so beautifully hand-decorated that there is no need to transfer the food to another dish, just bring it to the table directly from the oven. That's how I thought of our slogan "Bringing Taste to your Food and Color to your Table™ " and we decided to create our brand ClayBourg® and import these beautiful potteries from our native region of Eastern France.
Cooking is an art project; why not bring the piece of art directly to your table and share the meal with a friendly ambiance? It is easier than you think... All right now, that's the French in me talking but cooking dinner does not have to be a boring chore and who said French cuisine had to be sophisticated and long to prepare? With our clay cookware and particularly the round and oval bake ware you can fix a quick meal with close to nothing in 10 minutes of preparation. When in a hurry I just take a few pieces of Amish organic chicken (it's the best), vegetables, season with a little olive oil and soy sauce or lemon juice, place in the oven and sit down and enjoy a glass of wine. 25 minutes later, voila, you've got yourself a delicious tender and juicy chicken with baked vegetable, and it's very lean.
We are involved too. While big name corporations only care about their bottom line, we care about our suppliers and believe in sustainable economy. We work with small producers that we personally know. We know they consistently manufacture great products and put all they've got in their businesses and products. Their price is our price, we do not pressure them to make more money on our hand and yet, we manage to offer our clients the best of French clay cookware and kitchen linen at very reasonable prices. In fact, our aprons sell in Paris boutiques for twice the price we sell them in the USA with free shipping!
Finally, we believe in helping small entrepreneurs in developing countries as one of the best ways to empower them to rise out of poverty and we loan interest-free money to these entrepreneurs at our own risk, through Kiva microloans - Check out our lender page and make a loan yourself for as low as $25.
Enjoy your food, enjoy your traditional French clay cookware and bake ware, tell your friends and family about us and our affiliates program, we love referral, and do not hesitate to contact us if you need.
