Sobre Sauce Boat

Astier de Villatte’s old-world charm translates beautifully to its Sobre collection, including this sauce boat. While great from a functional perspective, it doubles up as a poetic centrepiece. It’s made using handcrafting techniques from the Middle Ages; black terracotta clay sourced from quarries in the Paris Basin is moulded and double-fired before it’s dipped in a bright-white glaze. On the base, you’ll find an interlacing A and V alongside the faint mark of the one of the 40 master artisans who brought it to life.
