The Mushroom Ornament (Baby) arrives from the imagination of French artist Nathalie Lété — a collaboration with Astier de Villatte that translates her folk-inspired world into handmade ceramic. The cap is glazed in deep red with white spots, the stem shading from cream to sage green with fine painted lines suggesting bark and root. At its base, small moss-coloured forms anchor it to the ground, as though it has simply appeared there. It carries the quality of something found rather than made.
Handmade in Paris in Astier de Villatte's workshops. 10 × 9 × 12 cm.
