Paris-based Atelier Saint-André Perrin – made up of mother-and-daughter duo Sylvie and Elise – handcrafts signature marbled ceramics by utilising a technique Sylvie developed called stamping. The intricate process sees them swirl together various coloured oxide clays, rhythmically hand-knead the mixture, and then roll it out to reveal the unique pattern. Then, the clay is stamped and shaped into a pre-made plaster cast for it to harden, before being scraped, sanded, fired, enamelled and fired for a second time. No more than 16 pieces are created each day, making each one a loved, laboured-over product of this maker’s vision. Look out for captivating colour palettes with unique quirks that’ll elevate your table settings.
