Know before you buy
No, this vase is not waterproof. It is designed as a decorative object and should be used for dried stems or displayed on its own.
Because of the delicate terracotta and signature glaze, this piece is not dishwasher safe. We recommend gently dusting it with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its finish.
No. Each piece is handmade in Paris using black terracotta, meaning there will be slight variations in shape and glaze that make your specific vase a one-of-a-kind work of art.
The collaboration features John Derian’s signature botanical illustrations applied to Astier de Villatte’s traditional ceramic forms, blending 18th-century French craftsmanship with unique, archival-inspired artistry.
This piece is intended for indoor display only. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the terracotta and the integrity of the glossy white glaze.
