Jars, a brand within the Rosenthal portfolio, brings artistry and individuality to restaurant and hospitality tabletops. Known for its handcrafted stoneware, expressive glazes, and organic forms, each collection offers a distinctive way to bring color, texture, and character to the table.
Founded in southern France in 1857, the brand has spent generations creating stoneware that balances beauty, functionality, and handcrafted character.
French Craftsmanship in Every Piece
Jars ceramics are still shaped by an intentionally hands-on production process. Each piece goes through 10 production stages and is handled an average of 21 times before completion.
That craftsmanship gives Jars its signature character:
- Handcrafted in France using generations of ceramic expertise
- Subtle variations in glaze and shape that make each piece unique
- Organic forms and expressive finishes that bring depth to the tabletop
- Thoughtful craftsmanship designed to balance beauty and everyday functionality
Beautifully Made. Built for Everyday Use.
Behind the artisanal look is stoneware designed with performance in mind.
Jars pieces feature:
- High-temperature stoneware that is non-porous and water-resistant
- 1280°C firing for intense glazes and lasting strength
- Temperature retention to help foods stay hot or cold longer
- Dishwasher and microwave-safe construction
- Rigorous quality control after firing
For restaurants and hospitality operators, that means distinctive dinnerware that doesn't sacrifice everyday practicality.
