Want, want, want, but don't need and not going to buy: the Ma Poule incense box & censer from Carron (the ceramics brand of Mathilde Carron-Astier de Villatte, one of the co-founders of Astier de Villatte, and her husband). "A funny hen placed on an incense box which will best preserve your delicate scent sticks, protected from light and humidity. You can place & burn your incense sticks on its beak." $160 at The More The Happier in Los Angeles.
Hmm one of those-l could make something like that!- items…it is very cute.! A tidy high fire ceramic box, with a different animal for me…a howling wolf or Welsh Dragon head, maybe, in a deep Shino or red breaking glaze… ah… so many creative opportunities, so little time. Retirement brain is kicking in! I have a growing list of projects to explore…
Please report back when you have a demo model!
Ok. I actually have several pottery projects I want to do- looking for somewhere I can access a wheel and some kiln time. It might actually happen…
I will be impressed!
