The Cat Monument Incense Holder by celebrated French ceramic house Astier de Villatte captures a quiet moment of feline composure. A finely sculpted cat sits upright upon a small pedestal, its attentive posture lending the piece a gentle sense of character and presence.
From the centre of the pedestal, a slender incense stick rises beside the figure, creating a striking vertical line that contrasts with the softness of the sculpted form. As incense burns, the smoke drifts upward past the watchful cat, transforming the piece into a small ritual object for moments of pause and reflection.
