Know before you buy
Yes, it is food contact safe. While it functions as a striking decorative piece, it is designed to be used as a practical cutting surface for your kitchen tasks.
Because each piece is individually handmade in Paris, there will be subtle variations in the ceramic shape and finish. These slight imperfections are intentional and part of the artisan process, ensuring your board is a unique work of art.
We recommend hand washing the board with mild soap and water to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the artistic graphic. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface finish.
The board features an irregular shape characteristic of Astier de Villatte’s handmade aesthetic. While it provides a stable surface for general use, the organic edges mean it does not have the uniform, squared-off profile of a standard wooden cutting board.
Every board is stamped with the official Astier de Villatte monogram and includes the signature of the artisan who crafted it. These markings serve as your guarantee of authenticity and Parisian craftsmanship.
