Hautin Boulenger & Company (H.B. & Cie) got their start in 1805 when the three Paillart brothers opened up the first ceramic factory in Choisy-le-Roi, France. The company has a long and rather dramatic history but was renowned for its high quality earthenware, majolica tableware and also intricate sculptures and vases. By 1910 production of tableware ceased and the company focuses on producing ceramic tile. In 1936, the company closed it's doors. Highly collectable and sought after by antique lovers everywhere, H.B. & Cie's beautiful ceramics are still celebrated today.
