Astier de Villatte Cygne Box

Known for their lifelong partnerships, swans are an enduring symbol of love and fidelity in cultures across the world. Our Astier de Villatte Cygne Box celebrates this romantic notion with a sweet pair of these elegant birds atop its lid, whose graceful necks together form the shape of a heart. Handcrafted from start to finish in Astier’s historic workshop, this elegant vessel was made from black terracotta clay sourced from the Paris Basin and pressed into handcarved plaster molds — a slow-paced, traditional process that gives each piece its own unique character. From there, it was coated in the brand’s signature milky white glaze, which lets hints of that natural clay color peek through for a perfectly imperfect feel, and finished with its maker’s initials and a “made in Paris” stamp on its underside for a lasting reminder of the thoughtful human touch that went into creating it. An pretty way to conceal odds and ends in any room of the house, our Astier de Villatte Cygne Box would also make a thoughtful gift to your own mate-for-life — or the perfect wedding present for the newly married couple!
