Astier de Villatte Venus Bust

Talk about classic elegance. Our Astier de Villatte Venus Bust is the legendary French ceramicist’s take on the Roman goddess of love and beauty — a subject often revisited throughout art history. Handmade in the brand’s Paris workshop, this graceful statue is made from locally-sourced terracotta clay, which is pressed into handcarved plaster molds by skilled artisans — a slow-paced, traditional process straight from the Middle Ages that gives each one its own unique character. Unlike other pieces in Astier’s ceramics collection, it’s left unglazed, which only adds to its antiqued feel. Perfect for adding a sense of timelessness to any tabletop vignette, we love her as a focal point on an entryway table, bookcase or mantelpiece.
