The Squirrel Incense Holder by celebrated French ceramic house Astier de Villatte captures a small moment of playful curiosity. A sculpted squirrel stretches forward across a softly scalloped dish, its attention fixed on a tiny object before it, bringing gentle character and narrative to the piece.
Designed to hold a slender incense stick, the dish quietly collects ash while the figure introduces a touch of humour and charm to the ritual. Both functional and sculptural, it makes a distinctive addition to a desk, shelf, or bedside table.
