Astier de Villatte Peony Bristol Dish

Bring timeless beauty to the dining table with our Astier de Villatte Peony Bristol Dish. This pretty serving platter is a collaboration between two of our favorite makers — the legendary ceramicist Astier de Villatte and celebrated designer John Derian — and takes its inspiration from classic Dutch delftware. A type of tin-glazed pottery made in the Netherlands since the 16th century, delftware’s iconic blue-and-white palette and elegant designs were in turn derived from traditional Chinese pottery. Talk about art inspiring art! Handcrafted in Astier’s Paris workshop using locally-sourced black terracotta clay and dipped in the brand’s signature milky white glaze, it’s been finished with a delicate floral motif from Derian’s expansive collection of antique images, creating a dead ringer for authentic delftware. A statement piece that’s sure to stun in any serveware collection, we especially love our Peony Bristol Dish mixed in with other dishes from our Astier de Villatte Ceramics Col
