Collection: Cambridge Collection by Astier de Villatte

The Cambridge Collection by Astier de Villatte brings an unmistakably British accent to the Parisian atelier’s handmade ceramics. Floral motifs, bucolic decoration and eccentric sculptural forms come together in a collection of cups, vases, baskets, plates and tea pieces that feels at once aristocratic, playful and wonderfully unconventional.

At the heart of the collection is a delightfully plump teapot, accompanied by the wonderfully expressive King Charles cup with its famously melancholy gaze. Together they lend afternoon tea a distinctly English sense of ceremony, tempered by the wit and imagination that run throughout Astier de Villatte’s work.

Elsewhere, plates festooned with pastoral and floral motifs transform everyday meals into something more fanciful, while sculptural vases and baskets carry the Cambridge aesthetic beyond the table. Rendered in Astier de Villatte’s luminous white glaze, the collection’s romantic decoration and subtly irregular handmade forms evoke the charm of antique English ceramics through the singular perspective of a Parisian atelier.

Elegant without taking itself too seriously, the Cambridge Collection celebrates the rituals of tea, flowers and the beautifully dressed table. Each handmade piece combines old-world character with Astier de Villatte’s distinctive ability to make historic references feel unexpected, humorous and entirely at home in contemporary interiors.
