You won’t get perfectly formed silhouettes from Astier de Villatte – instead, the Parisian workshop favours shapes that are intentionally misaligned. This soup plate from the Neptune collection celebrates the art of the handmade with its off-kilter proportions and uneven white glaze, the latter of which is applied atop black terracotta clay sourced from the Paris Basin.

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.
