This mini pitcher from Astier de Villatte is a testament to the Parisian brand's spiritual ethos and fascination with folk art and abandoned objects. Votary of pre-industrial fabrication, Astier de Villatte is celebrated for being the one and only studio in Paris to hold and harbour the traditions of artisanal ceramic production. Restoring the ancestral systems of moulding and stamping, the Colbert mini pitcher is made using handcrafting techniques from the Middle Ages which involve moulding a handmade sheet of clay, double firing the 'biscuit' piece and glazing the product in white enamel ' a lengthy process that involves a drying time of up to one month. Characterised by a curved handle and exposed clay, the pitcher is engraved with the brand's signature crest ' depicting an interlacing A & V ' alongside the initials of one of the 40 master artisans who created it. Each handmade piece tells a beautiful story, it romances and imparts a sense of nostalgia into its owner. Use it to serve up hot or cold drinks at breakfast or family barbeques. Artisanal production gives each ceramic object a unique aspect, meaning products may slightly vary.
