Three Years at the Top
For the third consecutive year, Chef Bruno Verjus and his acclaimed restaurant TABLE in Paris have claimed their place among the World’s 50 Best Restaurants—holding steady at No. 10 globally while maintaining their crown as France’s premier dining destination. This remarkable achievement transcends mere recognition; it stands as a testament to the unwavering consistency, authentic vision, and creative courage that define Bruno’s extraordinary work.
We are profoundly honored that our handcrafted plates continue to play a role in his culinary narrative—each piece carrying dishes that embody both the purity of exceptional ingredients and the sophisticated philosophy that drives his kitchen. Our collaboration with Bruno has never been about creating mere tableware or decorative objects; it represents something far more meaningful: a continuous dialogue between craft and cuisine, between the ancient art of clay and the poetry of flavor, between the deliberate gesture of the maker’s hand and the inspired artistry of the chef’s vision.
At Pottery & Poetry, our approach mirrors this same philosophy of intentional creation. We treat every commission as both an architectural challenge and an artistic opportunity—designing not simply objects, but carefully conceived spaces where food can truly come alive. Each piece emerges from our studio hand-shaped, meticulously glazed, and fired with precision, yet always infused with the emotion and intuition that we believe distinguishes authentic craft. Beauty, we’ve learned, lives in the delicate balance between technical mastery and creative soul.
Our partnership with Bruno Verjus has illuminated, time and again, a fundamental truth: when chef and maker achieve true alignment, the result transcends the sum of its parts. What emerges is neither merely a dish nor simply a plate, but a complete sensory experience that speaks to something deeper in those who encounter it. Bruno’s relentless creativity and generous spirit continue to inspire us to push our boundaries, explore uncharted techniques, and remain steadfast in our commitment to the irreplaceable essence of handmade porcelain.
As we celebrate three years at the pinnacle of culinary excellence, we look forward with anticipation to the many shared milestones and creative discoveries that lie ahead. Here’s to the power of collaboration, the beauty of consistency, and the endless possibilities that emerge when passion meets purpose.
