Astier de Villatte Conserve Vase

Yes, the vase is glazed and fully functional as a vessel for fresh flowers. However, because it is made from porous black terracotta, we recommend placing it on a coaster or protective surface if you are concerned about potential condensation or minor seepage over time.

Each piece is handmade in Paris using traditional methods, which naturally results in subtle variations in the glaze, shape, and texture. These imperfections are intentional and are considered a hallmark of Astier de Villatte's artisanal process, ensuring your piece is one-of-a-kind.

To preserve the integrity of the milky white glaze and the terracotta clay, this vase should be hand washed only. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can damage the delicate finish.

The Conserve Vase stands 6.3 inches tall with a diameter of 6 inches. Its compact, can-inspired shape makes it versatile enough for a small bouquet on a dining table or as a standalone sculptural piece on a bookshelf.

The finish is a signature milky white glaze applied over black terracotta. While the glaze provides a smooth, protective coating, you may still feel the subtle, organic texture of the clay beneath, which adds to the piece's tactile, artisanal character.
