In Astier de Villatte’s world, even something as simple as a star is unconventional. The Etoile collection is a fine example, made up of one-of-a-kind designs like this soup plate that evade the usual five-point rule in favour of six. It’s handcrafted in Paris from black terracotta clay and dipped in a bright-white glaze. The result is a sure-fire conversation starter – and undoubtedly the guiding light of a curated tablescape.

Meet the maker:
Astier de Villatte
Old friends Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte met at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, leading to the launch of Astier de Villatte in 1996. Since the beginning, they’ve been charmed with ideas of the imperfect, finding beauty in uneven glazes, dark pockmarks and subtle ripples. But these details only emphasise the craft tale behind each piece – stories that start with a single sheet of black terracotta clay extracted from Parisian quarries. They follow traditional Roman methods to bring each ‘dream object’ to life, shaping and inscribing each one with the potter’s initials and finishing with a high-shine white porcelain glaze.
