Founded in 1996 by Benoît Astier de Villatte and Ivan Pericoli, Astier de Villatte is a Paris-based ceramics studio celebrated for its hand-crafted white-glazed earthenware. Using traditional 18th- and 19th-century techniques, each piece is made from black terracotta clay and finished with a signature milky glaze, creating subtle variations that highlight the hand of the artisan. Their work is rooted in French history yet feels timeless, poetic, and effortlessly elegant — a quiet luxury for the everyday table.
