Collection: Istanbul Collection by Astier de Villatte

The Istanbul Collection by Astier de Villatte evokes an imaginary Orient through elegant proportions, sculptural silhouettes and the unmistakable character of handmade Parisian ceramics. Romantic and evocative rather than strictly historical, the collection reflects Astier de Villatte’s wonderfully imaginative approach to objects, places and the decorative arts.

Across the Istanbul service, familiar forms are given an exotic, old-world character through graceful contours and beautifully considered proportions. Plates and serving pieces bring a sense of ceremony to the table, while pitchers and sculptural candlesticks extend the collection throughout the home.

Finished in Astier de Villatte’s luminous white glaze, the Istanbul Collection allows form, texture and silhouette to become the decoration. Subtle irregularities reveal the hand of the artisan, giving every piece an individual presence and softening the grandeur of the collection with the unmistakable charm of something made by hand.

Handmade in Paris, Astier de Villatte’s Istanbul ceramics feel both timeless and transporting. Used as a complete service or mixed among simpler white ceramics, antique glassware and candlelight, the collection brings an atmosphere of romance, ceremony and faraway places to the table.
