Simple Hand-Glazed Ceramic Vase (12in/31cm)

When speaking of their products, Benoît and Ivan – founders of Astier de Villatte – said “we ask people to produce with a good spirit, so the pieces look almost alive” – a joyful part of the design story. This vase from the Simple collection is ever-so-slightly askew, aligning with the ceramicist’s belief that beauty lies in the imperfect. Look to the base for a stamp of the signature crest and a faint mark of the maker’s initials.
