Astier de Villatte Simple Hand-Glazed Ceramic Creamer

$162

When speaking of their products, Benoît and Ivan – founders of Astier de Villatte – said “we ask people to produce with a good spirit, so the pieces look almost alive” – a joyful part of the design story. This creamer from the Simple collection is characterised by an idiosyncratic spout and a curved handle, while the base is stamped with the signature crest and a faint mark of the maker’s initials. It’s handmade in black terracotta clay sourced from quarries in the Paris Basin and given its distinct milky finish via a soft white glaze.

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.
