Manufacturing process
Pottery JAMET controls all the development and manufacturing processes, from the choice of raw materials, all French , to firing.
We manufacture our own so-called “unwashed” molding paste in-house, give our ceramics long rest times before and after shaping, then we watch over the various firing phases and test the quality of each batch.
Our craftsmanship allows a production of superior quality called PROBUS Poterie JAMET , in accordance with the highest requirements required by professionals in beekeeping, naturalists, plants, winemaking and ornamentation.
Research and development
The creation of a new collection requires between 1 to 4 years of research and development .
The tests in real conditions, the methods and the results of Pottery JAMET ceramics are defined, carried out and confirmed by and for leading professionals in their respective fields:
- Exterior architects and landscape architects
- Local authority leaders
- Producers of market gardening, tree crops and truffles…
- Winegrowers, oenologists, cellar and winemaking masters
