Pret a pot started from garden tots to producing global artistry


Pret-a-pot was founded in 1985 by Nicole Kingston’s parents, who began as a humble manufacturer of traditional garden pots. Over the years, Nicole has transformed Pret-a-pot from those small beginnings into a global maker of artisanal handmade ceramics. Under her leadership, the company has embraced innovation while staying true to its roots in craftsmanship and sustainability.
