The Astier Table: A Special Pre-Order Event at BON TON goods

Pre-order by September 10 for expected delivery at the end of September

There are objects we buy for a moment, and there are objects with which we slowly build a life.

Astier de Villatte belongs firmly to the latter.

This September, BON TON goods is delighted to present our most extensive Astier de Villatte pre-order event to date, bringing together an extraordinary assortment of the Parisian maison’s ceramics, tableware, glassware and cutlery, including pieces that are rarely available together in such breadth.

Most excitingly, this pre-order offers the opportunity to think beyond individual pieces and create an entire Astier table: complete sets of plates and cups, beautiful glassware, an expanded selection of cutlery, and harder-to-find ceramics.

For those who have dreamed of setting an entire table in Astier de Villatte, this is the moment.

A Table Collected Over Time

There is something wonderfully contrary about an Astier de Villatte table.

It can be extraordinarily elegant without ever feeling formal.

The luminous white glaze catches the light differently across every surface. Delicate black terracotta reveals itself along an edge or beneath a foot. Plates are subtly irregular. Cups bear the almost imperceptible traces of the hands that formed them.

Nothing is perfectly identical.

And that is precisely the point.

Made by hand in Paris using traditional techniques, Astier de Villatte ceramics possess a character that mass-produced porcelain simply cannot imitate. Each piece feels individual, yet when brought together, the collection creates a remarkably harmonious table.

A dinner plate does not need to match the plate beside it perfectly. Cups can be collected across different Astier families. Glassware adds another play of transparency and light. Serving pieces can become increasingly elaborate. Cutlery brings its own unexpected detail.

A simple table slowly evolves into something deeply personal.

This is tableware intended to be collected, used and loved.

For the First Time: Build the Complete Astier Table

One of the things we are most excited about with this pre-order is the opportunity to think beyond individual pieces and begin composing an entire Astier de Villatte table.

Our expanded assortment includes complete sets of Astier de Villatte plates and cups, an exceptional selection of glassware, and an expanded collection of Astier de Villatte cutlery, alongside individual ceramics and harder-to-find pieces.

Perhaps it begins with six dinner plates for evenings at home.

Perhaps twelve.

Add cups for morning coffee, delicate Astier glassware catching the candlelight, and cutlery that brings another layer of character to the table.

Or perhaps this is the moment to do something wonderfully extravagant and create the Astier table you have imagined for years.

That is what makes this pre-order particularly special.

Rather than limiting your selection to the pieces that happen to be available in the shop at one particular moment, you can choose from our largest Astier de Villatte assortment to date and build a collection around the way you actually live.

Plates. Cups. Glassware. Cutlery.

From a single piece to an entire table.

Glassware for the Astier Table

Astier de Villatte has always understood that a beautiful table is created through layers.

Ceramics may form its foundation, but the magic often lies in what surrounds them.

For this pre-order, we have expanded the collection to include Astier de Villatte glassware, allowing the distinctive language of Astier to continue across the table.

Placed beside the softly irregular white ceramics, glass catches and reflects the light. Add candles, linen and flowers, and the result feels collected rather than coordinated, elegant without becoming overly precious.

It is precisely this mixture of materials, forms and small imperfections that makes an Astier table feel alive.

And Then There Is the Cutlery...

We are particularly thrilled about our expanded selection of Astier de Villatte cutlery.

Astier’s approach to the table extends far beyond ceramics. Their cutlery possesses the same slightly unexpected quality that makes the maison so compelling: familiar objects transformed through proportion, material and detail into something distinctly Astier.

For this special event, an expanded selection of cutlery can be pre-ordered alongside the ceramics and glassware.

A plate becomes a place setting.

A place setting becomes a table.

And a table slowly becomes a collection.

Suddenly, the everyday ritual of laying the table becomes something quite different.

The Pieces That Are Usually Difficult to Find

Anyone who has collected Astier de Villatte knows that part of its charm, and occasionally its frustration, is availability.

The ceramics are handmade. Production is limited. Certain forms disappear for periods of time. Others arrive only in small quantities.

It is part of what makes discovering an unusual Astier piece so exciting.

For this pre-order event, we have opened a much larger assortment than we would normally be able to keep physically in the shop, including hard-to-find pieces and an exceptional selection of tableware.

It is an opportunity both for established collectors and for those discovering Astier for the first time.

If there is a particular piece you have been waiting for, now is the time to look.

From a Single Cup to an Entire Table

There is no correct way to collect Astier de Villatte.

Begin with one cup.

Add a dinner plate.

Find the serving dish you cannot stop thinking about.

Choose glasses that transform an ordinary supper.

Mix collections.

Add another place setting when the family grows or the dinner table becomes larger.

Or, for this pre-order, do something wonderfully extravagant and create an entire table at once.

That freedom is part of what we love about Astier.

The pieces are refined enough for a beautifully set dinner table yet tactile and intimate enough to use every day.

Over time, they acquire memories: dinners with friends, celebrations, morning coffee, flowers from the garden, Sunday lunches and perfectly ordinary Tuesday evenings.

The most beautiful objects are rarely the ones kept untouched in a cupboard.

They are the ones that become part of our rituals.
