Astier de Villatte’s Bac collection has a nostalgic feel. Inspired by French ceramics of the 18th century, it celebrates elegant simplicity, striking silhouettes and natural textures – three features at the heart of this soup plate. Black terracotta clay and a bright-white glaze provide a blank canvas that reflects the founders’ appreciation for the energy of the colour white. While it may seem unintentional, the asymmetric shape is entirely deliberate, proudly signed off by the maker with faint initials to the base.

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.
