From Francesca
The wedding of my effortlessly stylish friend Susanna had me looking at registry gifts recently. It was no surprise that she chose the most perfect china: the earthy and elegant Astier de Villatte. Handmade in Paris of black terra cotta with a milky white glaze, the delicate pieces are extremely durable, despite their fragile appearance. The Parisian headquarters are located at 173 rue Saint-Honore; well worth a visit if you are lucky enough to be in Paris.

I recently moved from Paris and I agree that Astier de Villatte is totally worth a visit. Gorgeous stuff. (Just a little correction - I believe the address is 173)
I'm really enjoying your site. Both your homes are just lovely.
