Brilliant Flamme Candle Lid

Editor’s Notes

The Flamme candle lid from Astier de Villatte is a testament to the Parisian-based brand’s spiritual ethos and fascination with folk art and abandoned objects.Votary of pre-industrial fabrication, Astier de Villatte is celebrated for being the one and only studio in Paris to hold and harbour the traditions of artisanal ceramic production. Restoring the ancestral systems of moulding and stamping, the Flamme candle lid 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 exposed clay and indentations, use it as a topper for your favourite Astier de Villatte scented candle – an ideal gift for home fragrance lovers. Artisanal production gives each ceramic object a unique aspect, meaning products may slightly vary.
