Astier De Villatte Burgundy Butterfly Plate | Tabletop

Description

Pairing 19th century pottery design with charming antique detail, the Burgundy Butterfly Plate looks lovely mixed in with almost any serveware collection. This dish comes to us from renowned ceramicist Astier de Villatte’s historic Paris workshop, housed in what was once the atelier of Napoleon’s own silversmith. There, it was handcrafted from black terracotta clay following old-school methods passed down for generations. Along with the brand’s milky white glaze, this one-of-a-kind piece is finished with pretty scalloped edges and a vintage illustration of a delicate butterfly, taken from celebrated designer John Derian’s expansive collection of images and calligraphy. A wonderfully unique addition to any tabletop, it would also make a thoughtful gift for anyone going through a time of transformation as a symbol of change.
