Lion Butter Dish

This butter dish from Astier de Villatte is a testament to the Parisian brand’s spiritual ethos and fascination with folk art and abandoned objects.

Handmade on the Rue St. Honoré in Paris, these 18th-century inspired ceramics are crafted in a traditional pottery style passed down from generations. Hand molded from black terracotta, each piece is finished in a milky-white glaze that highlights the unique character of the clay, celebrating its imperfections and ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. Romantically bohemian yet practical for every day use, these appointed pieces add a touch of Parisian poetry to the well-appointed kitchen.
