Handmade Pottery in Paris from Fine Ceramics

Handcrafted Stoneware Art for Homes and Dining

Dunbar Pottery brings wheel-made stoneware ceramics and functional art directly to homes and rooms across Paris. Rooted in the old English and Japanese folk craft tradition of Bernard Leach and Shoji Hamada, the studio makes strong, handmade pottery built for daily kitchen use.


We throw every pot by foot on treadle wheels, and we mix our own raw clay and glazes before firing them in a gas reduction kiln. Whether you need custom kitchen pieces, handmade plates, or display custom pottery in Paris, you can buy online or send us a message to chat about your ideas anytime.

Studio Craftsmanship and Authentic Traditions

Buying real handmade pottery in Paris connects buyers to old studio habits. Potters Martin Peters and Ron Vallis bring long decades of training to their craft. Martin finished his studies at the Leach Pottery, St. Ives, Cornwall in 1974. Ron learned his skills alongside John Reeve, Sally Michener, and Tam Irving at Vancouver School of Art.


Together, they honor the Japanese philosophy of Mingei, making simple, quiet, traditional, and useful shapes. High-fired stoneware items feature natural glaze coats such as celadon, nuka, temoku, and shino that give each piece rich surface details.
