Know before you buy
No, this bowl is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. Due to the delicate nature of the black terracotta and the signature enamel glaze, we recommend hand washing only to preserve its finish.
Because every Astier de Villatte piece is handcrafted in Paris, there will be subtle variations in the shape and glaze. These unique characteristics are intentional and part of the charm of artisanal terracotta.
The bowl has a generous diameter of 11.8 inches and a height of 5.7 inches. Its size makes it an ideal centerpiece for serving large salads, pasta, or fruit displays.
The bowl is crafted from black terracotta clay, which is then finished with Astier de Villatte’s signature glossy white enamel glaze. This combination creates the brand's iconic, rustic-yet-refined aesthetic.
No, this bowl is not designed to be stackable. Given its unique, hand-formed shape and material, it is best stored individually to protect the glaze and structure.
