Fashionable Champagne Bottle Glazed Terracotta Incense Holder

Editor’s Notes

A champagne bottle-shaped incense holder inspired by the art of celebrating, handcrafted in the Bastille studio of Astier de Villatte.From births and marriages to anniversaries, graduations and new jobs – celebration is a vital human ritual. This incense burner is crafted from black terracotta clay with a milky white glaze in the historic Parisian neighbourhood of Bastille. Each piece is made by hand by Astier’s ceramics team, who work with minute variations and imperfections in the terracotta to ensure that each one is unique. Pair with smoky, sweet or spicy incense sticks according to your preference, and fill your living space with evocative fragrance – an ideal gift for home scent-lovers.“We ask people to produce with a good spirit so the pieces look almost alive.”
