Know before you buy
Yes, it is designed to accommodate standard incense sticks. However, because each piece is handmade, the opening may vary slightly in size, so ensure your stick is securely positioned before lighting.
The signature milky glaze is durable, but it is best to wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges to preserve the integrity of the handmade finish.
No, each Dauphin holder is unique. The traditional Parisian crafting process results in subtle variations in shape and glaze, which are intentional characteristics of Astier de Villatte’s rustic aesthetic.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements, such as wind or moisture, may damage the ceramic material and affect the stability of the incense.
The holder is designed to catch the majority of ash, but due to its minimalist, sculptural form, some ash may occasionally land outside the base depending on the length and angle of the incense stick.
