Collection: Louis XV Collection by Astier de Villatte

The Louis XV Collection by Astier de Villatte evokes the graceful curves and decorative refinement associated with eighteenth-century French design. Elegant, ornamental and wonderfully romantic, the collection brings the spirit of the Louis XV period to Astier de Villatte’s unmistakable handmade Parisian ceramics.

Flowing contours and sculptural details give the pieces a sense of movement, recalling the asymmetry, curves and naturalistic ornament characteristic of the Rococo tradition. Rendered entirely in Astier de Villatte’s luminous white glaze, these elaborate forms become beautifully restrained, allowing relief, texture, light and shadow to provide the decoration.

The Astier de Villatte Louis XV Collection brings an unmistakable note of old-world French elegance to the table and home. Its decorative forms can create a romantic setting when gathered together or provide an ornate counterpoint when mixed with the atelier’s simpler white ceramics.

Handmade in Paris, each Louis XV piece retains the subtle irregularities and traces of the artisan’s hand that distinguish Astier de Villatte ceramics. Historic in spirit yet wonderfully suited to contemporary interiors, the collection transforms the grandeur of French decorative tradition into objects designed to be used, collected and enjoyed.
