Astier de Villatte <br>Austin Vase Collection

Based in a historic Bastille workshop (once home to Napoleon Bonaparte’s silversmith), the Astier produces ceramics by hand according to the artisanal process founder Benoît Astier learned from his father: start with black terracotta, create forms inspired by 17th and 18th century silhouettes, and finish each piece with a milky glaze that amplifies the character of the clay.
