Pillivuyt has been producing fine French porcelain since 1818 and for the most part has been thought of a producer of high quality timeless pieces such as creme brulee dishes, ramekins, and occasionally a oven-to-table baker because of the great thermal properties of Pillivuyt.
While I all of that is true (their quality is terrific – always has been) Pillivuyt has updated many of their designs from both a style & design standpoint, but also a technical standpoint with the new Pillenium Body – a special component added to their traditional porcelain that creates a product with greater strength in both mechanical and thermal shock. What does this mean for you, the chef? It means that you can now get Pillivuyt in a thinner, more elegant body without sacrificing strength and durability. And….the new Pillenium is a perfect match with body color with the traditional porcelain so you will find the mixing of the two to be a visually seamless match. Pillivuyt – chef designed, with over 1000 items to choose from, offering a design to satisfy any presentation need. With state-of-the-art production equipment, Pillivuyt blends century old traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to create perfect individual pieces to complement any table.
