Description

Why We Love This

This piece is an easy way to invite Parisian charm to any table. Despite being inspired by antiquity, it was carefully designed for the modern world. We love the smooth texture of softly glazed natural grey clay that brings us a moment of pleasure, even during a mundane breakfast.

Story

First invented when cavemen discovered that clay could be dug up, mixed with water, and then fired to make objects, ceramics have been around for hundreds of centuries. As early as 24,000 B.C., animal figurines were baked inside kilns. Later on, settlers in Europe and Asia began using pottery vessels to store water and food. The art of ceramics remains a beloved tradition even today, continuing to blend the primitive with the contemporary to produce timeless and natural pieces for the modern home or sanctuary. They combine just the right amount of practicality with ornamental beauty to lend warmth and style to any space.
