Aptware is key to an artistic tablescape, which is why we visited a workshop in the Provencal town of Apt to hand-select our very own selection. The 18th-century technique used to create this fanciful faïence is called terre mêlée, which is the process of infusing clay with coloured oxides. Several hours follow, as they’re then sculpted, stamped, dried, sanded and fired. No two are the same, as the colours and patterns vary slightly from one creation to the next.

ABASK Aptware

Aptware started to make waves during the middle of the 18th century. Named after the small town in Provence, France, the art form is inspired by the coloured soils in the region, which potters brought to life through mixed and marbleised faïence in pretty palettes. The style – terre mêlée – simulates the natural marbling of stone by kneading coloured clays together and pressing them into enchanting forms. Bold blends pave the way for vivid outcomes in our selection, all of which we hand-picked from a French workshop to form a series of serveware in unique shapes and shades.
