Claybourg imports French-style clay cookware and bakeware — most of it painted in colorful patterns and designs. They have many styles of cookware and bakeware that we have struggled to find elsewhere, like covered faitout dishes and casseroles with handles (great for French onion soup!).

They also carry salad bowls and cups in those same designs, so it's easy to put together a matched set for yourself or as a gift.

We haven't ordered from Claybourg yet, but we like their bright, French country-style patterns and the functionality of the clay cookware. Do you have any direct experience with Claybourg?
