Lion Hand-Glazed Ceramic Vase (17.5in/44cm)

Lion Hand-Glazed Ceramic Vase (17.5in/44cm)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.
