Restoring the ancestral systems of moulding and stamping, the butterfly dinner plate is made using techniques from the Middle Ages which involve moulding a sheet of handmade clay, double firing the ‘biscuit’ piece and glazing the product in white enamel – a lengthy process that requires a drying time of up to one month. Characterised by a butterfly motif, the dinner plate is engraved with the brand’s signature crest - depicting an interlacing A \u0026amp; V - alongside the initials of one of the 40 master artisans who created it. Each handmade piece tells a beautiful story, it romances and imparts a sense of nostalgia into its owner. Arrange with other plates in the collection to breathe an air of authenticity into your dining collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtisanal production gives each ceramic object a unique aspect, meaning products may slightly vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButterfly dinner plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade by master artisans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngraved with the brand's signature and initials of master artisan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClay sourced from quarries in the Paris basin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse dishwasher tablets free from phosphates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for microwaves or traditional ovens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Paris\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposition \u0026amp; Size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e90% Parisian Black Clay; 10% White Enamel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eL: D: 20.5cm, H: 1.3cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAstier de Villatte is a Parisian-based artisanal workshop that has been honing their craft since their founding in 1996.
