Setsuko Cat Incense Holder

$413 USD

The Setsuko Cat Incense Holder by Astier de Villatte is a playful and useful object — where art, storytelling, and craftsmanship come together in sculptural form.

Created in collaboration with artist Setsuko Klossowska de Rola, the piece depicts a quietly whimsical cat, captured mid-repose with a sense of gentle irreverence. Both decorative and functional, the figure transforms the ritual of burning incense into a moment of quiet theatre, as smoke drifts softly through the composition.

Handmade in Astier de Villatte’s Parisian workshops, the ceramic is finished in the maison’s signature milky white glaze, revealing subtle irregularities and glimpses of warm brown clay beneath — a testament to its artisanal process. Each piece carries its own unique character.

Charming, expressive, and slightly unexpected, the Setsuko Cat Incense Holder is designed to be lived with — a small object that brings both beauty and personality into everyday rituals. The perfect companion to the beautiful range of Astier incense.

Size: 12.5 x 11.5 x 20.5 cm.

Handmade ceramic, made in Paris.
