Astier de Villatte Round Peggy Bottle Vase

No, the glaze is not perfectly uniform. Because each vase is handmade in Paris using black terracotta, the milky white finish interacts uniquely with the clay, resulting in subtle variations and occasional glimpses of the dark clay beneath. This is a deliberate aesthetic choice that gives the piece its character.

Yes, it is designed to hold water for fresh floral arrangements. However, due to the porous nature of terracotta and the delicate glaze, we recommend placing it on a coaster or protective surface if you are concerned about potential moisture seepage over time.

To preserve the integrity of the milky white glaze, this vase must be hand-washed gently with mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or dull the surface.

This is a small, bottle-shaped vase measuring 6 inches in height and 2.5 inches in diameter. It is best suited for single stems, small posies, or dried botanicals rather than large, heavy bouquets.

Because every Astier de Villatte piece is individually handmade, no two vases are identical. You should expect slight differences in the glaze application and surface texture, which are hallmarks of the artisanal process.
