I purchased a 5 qt. bowl from Bram and it was just delivered broken in several pieces. I decided to just ask for a full refund plus the hefty $27 shipping charge rather than chance getting a replacement and receiving another broken bowl. Maybe some items are best buying in person.
My shipment arrived yesterday and two of my three pieces were in pieces. Not enough packing and lots of space in the box for them to bang into each other. So very disappointing.
Love your blog ( reading for years) but Where are your wonderful Paris restaurant, events, cooking classes, etc recommendations that you regularly had at end of your blog?
Oh my gosh, you are certainly a ceramics junkie. As am I. It seems the Not pottery is affordable. What a coup for them. I support ceramic artisans, but I certainly do appreciate economy. Yes, they need to make a living.
What did you have to move out to accommodate the new casseroles?
I used to visit Seagrove, NC, for pottery shopping. Not only was it a great source for those who love pottery in the US, but it was a fun weekend trip. I look forward to reading your blog, David. It brightens my day.
Glad you finally got there and that you shared your experience with your readers. The pottery is beautiful and I know you and Romain will enjoy using it!
I'll be in Paris over the holidays and will attempt to have a bowl or three shipped to my hotel. What a dream it would be to bring one of these beauties home! Now to see if Google Translate can make this dream come true. Thank you, David, for the tip! The list of things to bring home happily increases :)
You might want to contact Tuile à Loup as he used to carry some Not Frères pottery in his shop, but I don't know if he still does. He now opens the shop by appointment only so best to call or contact him by email to see if he has any pieces (He speaks fluent English) There's a link in my post about the shop: https://www.davidlebovitz.com/la-tuile-a-loup-pottery-shop-paris/

Oh how I wish they shipped to the US!!!! What a lovely story and I'm happy you came home with an incredible score!!
Somehow this article sent me down a rabbit hole regarding the annual Cassoulet festival and the confrèrie and all. I love these French festivals!

My heart skipped a beat when you said you were there to SHOP. What a joyful experience and one you get to enjoy every day at home. Lucky duck. x
Oh wow! Thanks for all the photos. I love that stuff, can't blame you for buying lots of everything. I go for the bright colors too.

Thanks for the tip. An email has been sent and hopes are high.
So so pretty. Remind me of the Japanese donabe or the Buddha bowls I use daily. ❤️ You!
I want some (or all!) of this pottery! Thank you for this wonderful story!
They are beautiful!! I want all of them. Thanks for sharing this great story!!
Gee, I'd like to buy some of these pieces. A shame I can't from Manhattan.
hey Michele, Look around for local potters. They have survived the 60's
