Helene Dinand's Noble Artisan Roots: A Heritage Linked to Fame and Influence Through Centuries

Helene Dinand comes from a long bloodline of talented and famous artisans dating back to the Middle Ages. Helene’s grandfather was the descendant of Bernard Palissy, a French painter from the 1500’s who was well known and regarded for his unconventional artistic technique that influenced dinnerware and vases throughout Europe during his century. The name “Dinand” comes from the “Saintonge” region in Western France and originated from “Dinandier / Dinanderie,” a family name dating back to the 1150s. The Dinandiers’ were well known for a unique artistic technique applied to copper, brass, tin, silver and gold, mostly used for artistic cooking ware. Their technique still influences the style of some copper and brass cookware today. The present day term “Dinandier or Dianderie shop” refers to a modern day French artisan who applies the “Dinandier” technique to metals that include copper, brass, tin, silver and gold.
