The Sobre Pitcher (small) is cut with a straight, cylindrical body and a plain pulled rim, its only ornament the sturdy loop of the handle. Where much of the Astier range curves and flares, this piece holds its line, giving it a steadier, more upright presence on a table.
It belongs to the Sobre Collection, a range drawn from Quaker design, favouring sturdy proportions and simple rims over decoration. The collection also includes salad bowls and vases suited to long-stemmed flowers.
Dimensions: 16 x 10.5 x 13.5 cm.
Handmade ceramic, made in Paris.
