Astier de Villatte Marbled Cup and Saucer - Terracotta

The Marbled Cup and Saucer combines 19th century-inspired pottery design with a swirling marbleized motif. Handcrafted from black terracotta clay using traditional methods, each piece features a vintage marble glazed exterior with patterns that vary from piece to piece. The collaboration between Astier de Villatte and John Derian brings antique charm through reproduced vintage marbled endpaper designs. Cup: W11.4 x D8.3 x H7.6 cm, Saucer: D13.3 x H1.3 cm.

Pairing a 19th century-inspired pottery design with a swirling marbleized motif, the Marbled Cup and Saucer will add a layer of antique interest to any table setting. These delicate dishes come 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. Rather than the brand’s signature milky white glaze, however these pieces are patterned with a reproduction of a multi-colored vintage marbled endpaper, taken from celebrated designer John Derian’s expansive collection of antique images. Perfectly imperfect, they’re great on their own but even better as a set. We especially love them paired with the wonderfully unique Marbled Teapot. <br><br>•black terracotta clay <br>•vintage marble glazed exterior <br>•marble pattern may vary from piece to piece <br>•handwash only <br>•not microwave safe <br>•astier de villatte in collaboration with john derian <br>•handmade in paris <br>•each is unique <br><br>Dimensions <br>•cup: 4.5"W x 3.25" diameter x 3"H <br>•saucer: 5.25" diameter x .5"H
