Lion Hand-Glazed Ceramic Fruit Stand

Although Astier de Villatte is Parisian, the founders refer to their home as ‘little Tibet’ due to the high volume of Tibetan refugees working there. They have ex-monks who chant while they create and a relaxed approach to production that prioritises spirit over supply. This wonderful part of the maker’s story is apparent when you come face to face with the unique character of each creation. This fruit stand is one such example, complete with a lion’s head impressed into the bright-white glaze.
