Astier De Villatte Eye Teapot | Tabletop

Description

Elegant yet eerie, the Eye Teapot pairs a 19th century-inspired pottery design with a slightly strange antique image. This delicate dish comes to us from renowned ceramicist Astier de Villatte’s Paris workshop, housed in what was once the atelier of Napoleon’s own silversmith. There, this piece was handcrafted from black terracotta following old school methods passed down for generations. Besides the brand’s signature milky white glaze, it features a stylized vintage drawing of an eye, taken from celebrated designer John Derian’s expansive compilation of antique images. Perfectly imperfect, we think it would make a wonderfully weird addition to any tabletop or tea service.
