Collection: Colbert Collection by Astier de Villatte

The Colbert Collection by Astier de Villatte celebrates the grandeur of classical French design through bold proportions, sculptural curves and beautifully restrained forms. Handmade in Paris, the collection moves effortlessly between the rigorous elegance of the Louis XIV period and the generous, rounded silhouettes that give Colbert its distinctive character.

Comprising a remarkable assortment of vases, generous tureens, serving platters and understated lampshades, the Colbert Collection plays with contrasts of scale and form. Some pieces are defined by disciplined architectural lines, while others swell into voluptuous curves reminiscent of the monumental figures of artist Fernando Botero. Astier de Villatte’s luminous white glaze unifies these contrasting shapes, allowing their silhouettes and subtle handmade irregularities to take center stage.

Both imposing and quietly elegant, Astier de Villatte’s Colbert ceramics bring a sense of history and sculptural presence to the home. A grand tureen or serving platter creates an unforgettable table, while the collection’s vases and lampshades become striking decorative objects in their own right, combining the spirit of historic French design with the unmistakable character of the Parisian atelier.
