ASTIER DE VILLATTE
Astier de Villatte

A high-quality ceramic brand that has its atelier in Paris and produces all items by hand. It is widely known in and out of France.
With the concept of "art for everyday life," it features sophisticated designs that are thin, light, durable, and perfect for daily use.

A collaborative work with Setsuko, wife of French painter Balthus
The Setsuko Collection series.

Currently, Setsuko also actively works as a painter and essayist.
This series, born from Setsuko's hands at Astier de Villatte's atelier in Paris,
overflows with Japanese aesthetics.

An incense holder with a cat sitting on a tree stump.
The cat serves as the lid, and the tree stump acts as the tray.
Place the incense in the tree stump, and smoke will emerge from the cat's mouth.

The cat's mouth is shaped as if it's saying "Phew," but its eyes are sharp, giving it an indescribably charming cuteness.
It's a unique incense holder that makes you feel warm and fuzzy as you watch the smoke emerge from its expression.

From behind, the cat's hunched back form is deformed yet faithfully represented.
It's not just smooth; it has a lifelike fleshiness that makes you want to stroke it.

Due to a change in specifications, incense sticks can now be stood inside.
There are also several holes on the sides and back of the tree stump, which serves as the tray,
allowing smoke to emerge from these points as well.

There is also a cat-shaped pot in the same series.
Although their uses are different, they look lovely when displayed side-by-side as storage or as an objet d'art.
When combined with items such as those modeled after trees,
you can enjoy a coordination that feels like being in nature.
