Lion Hand-Glazed Ceramic Soup Tureen

Introduction

Although Astier de Villatte is Parisian, the founders refer to their home as little Tibet due to the high volume of Tibetan refugees working there. They have ex-monks who chant while they create and a relaxed approach to production that prioritises spirit over supply. This wonderful part of the makers story is apparent when you come face to face with the unique character of each creation. This soup tureen is one such example, complete with a bright-white glaze.
