Know before you buy
This piece is designed primarily as a decorative object or sculpture. While it is sturdy, it is not intended to function as a jewelry dish or storage vessel.
No. Because each ornament is handcrafted in Paris using traditional techniques, you should expect slight variations in the shape and glaze application. These nuances are intentional and ensure that every piece is one-of-a-kind.
No, this ornament is strictly for indoor use. The black terracotta and enamel finish are best preserved when kept away from the elements and direct outdoor weather conditions.
To maintain the glossy white glaze, gently dust the ornament with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the enamel finish.
The black terracotta is a hallmark of Astier de Villatte’s signature process. The dark clay shows through the white enamel in subtle ways, giving the piece its characteristic depth and authentic, historical aesthetic.
