Know before you buy
No, this piece is specifically designed for cocktail-sized napkins. Due to its 4 x 6-inch dimensions, it is best suited for smaller square napkins or folded paper items.
Yes, its vertical design makes it an excellent desktop accessory. It functions perfectly as a sophisticated letter or stationery holder for your workspace.
Because each piece is individually hand-painted by an artist in Quimper, there will be subtle variations in brushstrokes and color application. These slight differences are a hallmark of authentic Henriot Quimper faience and make your piece one-of-a-kind.
Faience is a delicate ceramic material. We recommend hand-washing with mild soap and water and drying it thoroughly with a soft cloth to preserve the hand-painted finish.
Yes, each authentic Henriot Quimper item is signed by the artist who painted it. You will typically find this signature on the base or the underside of the holder.
