Simple Small Soup Bowl by Astier de Villatte, 14cm

On its own or as part of a larger place setting, this 'Simple' soup bowl makes a sophisticated and somewhat nostalgic piece for the table—whether for serving soup or as a piece of table décor.  

Founded in Paris in 1996, Astier de Villatte is renowned for preserving the spirit of traditional craftsmanship through objects of quiet beauty and character. Each ceramic piece is handmade individually in Paris by Tibetan artisans, then engraved with the house signature and the initials of the master artisan who made it — a subtle mark of the human hand behind every creation.

Crafted from black terracotta, each piece is shaped using a time-honoured technique that embraces the irregularities of the making process rather than concealing them. These gentle variations in form and surface are part of what gives Astier de Villatte ceramics their distinctive charm. A soft, milky white glaze is then applied by hand, creating the luminous finish for which the house is known. Though delicate in appearance, these pieces are remarkably durable, bringing a sense of heritage, artistry and understated elegance to the table.
