Coquillage Collection by Astier de Villatte

Luminous white-glazed ceramics shaped by historic references, sculptural detail and the unmistakable character of the Astier de Villatte atelier

The Coquillage Collection by Astier de Villatte looks to the poetry of the sea, transforming shells and marine forms into delicate handmade Parisian ceramics. Sculptural boxes, small dishes and decorative objects become miniature treasures from the shore, at once naturalistic, romantic and unmistakably Astier de Villatte.

The shell-shaped pieces evoke the legendary birth of Venus, the goddess emerging from the sea upon a shell. Rendered in Astier de Villatte’s luminous white glaze, these familiar marine forms take on an ethereal quality, their ridges, curves and softly irregular surfaces capturing the delicate beauty of objects shaped by the ocean.

Both functional and decorative, the Coquillage pieces can hold jewellery, keepsakes and other small treasures, serve as charming dishes, or simply be displayed as sculptural objects. The collection also extends to an elegant shell-shaped incense holder, bringing the same maritime poetry to the ritual of burning incense.
