César Collection by Astier de Villatte

Luminous white-glazed ceramics shaped by historic references, sculptural detail and the unmistakable character of the Astier de Villatte atelier

The César Collection by Astier de Villatte looks to the grandeur of classical antiquity, adorning cups and dishes with imperial laurels and sculptural mouldings inspired by the ancient world. Ceremonial yet playful, the collection brings a touch of Roman splendor to Astier de Villatte’s unmistakable handmade Parisian ceramics.

Laurel leaves, long associated with victory, honor and imperial Rome, encircle and embellish the collection’s forms, while antique-inspired mouldings lend the pieces an architectural quality. Rendered in Astier de Villatte’s luminous white glaze, these historic motifs become wonderfully understated, allowing relief, shadow and texture to provide the decoration.

Handmade in Paris, each César piece carries the subtle irregularities and individual character of the artisan’s hand. Whether incorporated into an eclectic table setting or displayed as a decorative object, the collection transforms references to antiquity into something elegant, witty and unmistakably Astier de Villatte.
