Collection: Lion Collection by Astier de Villatte

The Lion Collection by Astier de Villatte celebrates one of the most enduring symbols of strength, nobility and majesty. Sculptural and full of character, the lion is transformed through the Parisian atelier’s distinctive ceramic language into an object that feels at once historic, whimsical and unmistakably Astier de Villatte.

Expressive features, powerful forms and carefully modelled details emerge beneath Astier de Villatte’s luminous white glaze. Without colour, the sculptural qualities of the lion take center stage, as light and shadow reveal the mane, contours and subtle irregularities created by the artisan’s hand.

Both functional and ornamental, the Astier de Villatte Lion Collection brings a wonderfully commanding presence to the table and home. Whether incorporated among other ceramics or displayed as a decorative object in its own right, the lion introduces a touch of grandeur and playful old-world character to an interior.

Handmade in Paris, each Lion ceramic reflects Astier de Villatte’s singular ability to transform familiar animals and historic symbols into objects filled with personality. Majestic without becoming solemn, these sculptural pieces embody the wit, craftsmanship and imagination of the celebrated Parisian atelier.
