THE ROTILLE PLATE
‘Rotille’ means “toasted bread” in Picard, the langue d'oïl of the Romance language-family spoken in the northernmost part of France.
The Rotille Plate is made, designed and produced by ceramic artisan Lucie Sotty in collaboration with Chef Justine Pruvot. Sotty is both the brain and hands behind these uniquely wavy plates.
Originally from the South of France, Lucie Sotty now calls Berlin home where she has her ceramic studio, the space where she draws upon a wide range of methods, techniques and sources of inspiration. Each piece by Sotty is shaped by hand using various handbuilding techniques, when she is not at the potter's wheel.
As these plates are artisanal, handcrafted pieces, no two exactly the same. Therefore variations in color, shape, and thickness, may occur.
Each one is sold with an accompanying recipe, created and imagined by Chef Justine Pruvot.
Touillet is the brainchild of its Marseille-based founder and cheffe en liberté (freedom chef) Justine Pruvot. The project brings together different crafts and craftspeople to create objects for ‘the art of the table’. This vision of Pruvot’s is reflected in the name Touillet – intended to be a meeting point between French terroir and craftsmanship.
Touillet entered the world of tableware with its first collection, inspired by walks by the creek and improvised lunches between friends that characterise a particular moment: The Picnic. Each piece within the collection is inspired by the seasons and stems from an original recipe by Chef Justine Pruvot herself. Playing with this notion of pairing plates with dishes, the collection enters into a collaboration with a range of artisan potters that highlight Pruvot’s encounters with inspiring and inspired women.
“Just like the chef who adapts based upon what’s found in the market that day, or growing in the fields this season, Touillet adapts to the constraints of the artisanal crafts it utilises – and plays with them.” – Justine Pruvot

Although glazed ceramics are dishwasher-friendly, to ensure their longevity and best preserve their original state we recommend sticking to hand-washing only.
