A single, tapering cylinder holds this fired decal: an antique-style Christmas tree, strung with candles and hung with ornaments in green, gold, and dusty pink, standing on a gilded pedestal base.
Created in collaboration with New York artist John Derian, the tree is applied as a fired decal, archival imagery selected by Derian and fused permanently into the glaze — part of his long-running collaboration with Astier de Villatte. Sized to hold a small bundle of greenery or a single taper, it suits a mantel, table, or bedside through the season.
Dimensions: 7.5 x 7.5 x 12.5cm.
Handmade ceramic, made in Paris.
