At the age of 26, Pierre Revol moved to Ponsas, northern Drôme, to marry Magdeleine Carrier, who came from a long line of faience (fine tin glazed earthenware) makers. Pierre and Magdeleine established their first workshop in 1768 and named it Revol, a name continued by their family, despite changes of surname with the introduction of sons-in-law Bourgogne and Passot.

For over 255 years Revol have manufactured porcelain made from natural materials found in the Drôme des Collines region. They set themselves the goal of being the first manufactory to offer tableware products constructed wholly from recycled ceramic paste and glazes. While they adopt the latest technologies, which control energy and water consumption, they are completely committed to sustainability and innovation.
