Monique Hand-Blown Champagne Glass

Function has its place, but beauty is the be-all and end-all for Astier de Villatte – you need only look at the Monique collection. This hand-blown champagne glass from the line features a curved form reminiscent of a handbell. A stretched bowl eliminates the need for a stem, making it perfect for retaining every last bubble of a freshly corked fizz. You’ll love drinking from its ultra-thin lip, with every sip highlighting the signature crest displayed on the bottom of the glass.

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.
