Know before you buy
While the ceramic is durable, we recommend hand washing your Astier de Villatte pieces to preserve the integrity of the unique porcelain glaze and the delicate terracotta base.
Each piece is individually handcrafted in Paris using black terracotta clay. Because of this artisanal process, slight variations in shape, glaze thickness, and finish are intentional and expected, making every plate a one-of-a-kind object.
The plate features a generous 2.6-inch depth, providing ample room for hearty soups, stews, or pasta dishes while maintaining an elegant, low-profile silhouette.
We advise against using these plates in the microwave, as the thermal shock can potentially damage the artisanal glaze and the underlying terracotta clay.
The signature white porcelain glaze is designed to have a beautiful, slightly translucent quality that allows the dark character of the black terracotta clay to subtly show through, creating the brand's iconic depth and texture.
