Titmouse Vase

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

The John Derian Collection

A prolific collaboration with New York’s king of decoupage. Colourful images adorn white ceramics, like tattoos inspired by luxuriant nature or shimmering objects and landscapes.

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.
