Description
Serena Carone, known for her imaginative and unconventional approach to design, brings her distinctive vision to Astier de Villatte through a joyful collaboration. The resulting collection includes cups with ring-shaped handles, elegant jewelry and treasure boxes, and delicately hand-shaped incense burners, each piece merging playful artistry with refined craftsmanship.
Founded in 1996, Astier de Villatte is a Parisian atelier dedicated to preserving and reimagining tradition. Its ceramics workshop updates 18th-century Parisian techniques, while its suburban printing press, the last in France, continues the art of lead-type books. The publishing house has produced Ma Vie à Paris, Drawings with Lou Doillon, and a new edition of Mitsou by Balthus. Its perfume studio partners with master noses to create colognes, skincare, incense, gums, and a candle collection inspired by scents from around the world.
Handmade in Paris, every ceramic is stamped with the Astier de Villatte monogram and the initials of the artisan who crafted it, reflecting the atelier’s dedication to individuality and tradition.

I bought this Astier de Villatte incense holder after seeing Lynsey Addario’s recommendation online. The ceramic craftsmanship is exceptional – each piece feels substantial and well-balanced. The ring design holds incense sticks securely, though I wish it came in different sizes. Perfect for meditation sessions, but quite pricey for what it is.
