【About ASTIER de VILLATTE】

 Known for its white-glazed pottery, Astier de Villatte is a brand founded in 1996 by Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte, creators of furniture, ceramics, objects, fragrances, and books.

Astier de Villatte's ceramics, made from black clay from the suburbs of Paris with a pure white glaze, are "Made in Paris" pieces crafted by skilled artisans in their Parisian workshops. Drawing inspiration from traditional 19th-century tableware and adding a twist to sculptural techniques learned at the École des Beaux-Arts, these pieces exude a dignified presence, like a canvas that enhances food and paintings.

【Care Instructions and Precautions】

The bottom of the ceramic is engraved with the brand's logo, the interwoven letters A and V, and the initials of the artisan who made it. Additionally, some products may have three areas where the glaze appears to be missing, which are marks from the stilts used to fire the ceramic with the glaze. This is not a defect. Tokyo Jukko's name is not inscribed. Please be aware of this.

【Usage Precautions】

To ensure long-lasting use, please observe the following precautions:
・Avoid using in microwaves or ovens. Sudden temperature changes can cause crazing (cracks) and breakage.
・Hand washing is recommended, but if using a dishwasher, wash at a water temperature of 55°C or less to avoid affecting the glaze.
・For dishwashers, use phosphate-free detergent.
・When hand washing, use a soft sponge and dish soap. Avoid using hard brushes, metal scrubbers, or abrasive cleaners as they may cause scratches.

Variations in glaze, minor distortions or wobbling, and asymmetry are characteristics of the product. Please note that we cannot accept returns or exchanges based on these characteristics or quality. Additionally, there may be differences in the glaze application between the photo and the actual product delivered, but these are considered individual variations within acceptable quality, and returns or exchanges for this reason are not permitted.
