Grecque Coffee Cup

Ceramic handmade in Paris, stamped with the Astier de Villatte monogram and the initials of the artisan who crafted it.

The Grecque Collection:

Cycladic architecture transformed into ceramics. A small collection of luminous white cups and plates, their rims decorated with lightly marked Grecian designs, ancient ornamental motifs that have proved timeless.

CARE:

Astier de Villatte ceramic objects can be used everyday and washed in the dishwasher, providing several basic precautions are followed to keep the white enamel lovely and radiant:

• It is best to choose a moderate wash cycle with temperatures between 45 and 55°C (110 and 130°F), as is used for glassware and delicates.
• We recommend using dishwasher tablets that are free of phosphates as they are softer on tableware.

Conversely, strong cycles with temperatures above 65°C (like pots and pans cycles) should be avoided. With regular use they will have a corrosive effect on the enamel.

Microwaves are also to be avoided, along with traditional ovens. The thermal shock occurring when a dish is taken out of the oven can damage ceramic pieces.

Tea and coffee may leave dark traces over time. Any marks can easily be removed with clay-based cleaning products.
