A small porcelain catch-all by Catto Studio x Mariette Groen, finished in a deep burgundy glaze and crowned with a sculptural beetle. Handbuilt and softly irregular, it feels somewhere between a precious object and a quiet curiosity—equally at home holding rings, matches, or a tea light candle.
WHY IT’S SPECIAL
Each piece is shaped by hand, then glazed in layered tones that pool and break unpredictably, making every catch-all subtly different. The beetle—an ongoing motif in Mariette Groen’s work—adds a touch of symbolism and whimsy: part talisman, part companion. Functional, yes, but never ordinary.
DETAILS
Suitable for use as a catch-all or with a tea light candle (never leave a burning candle unattended).
THE BRAND
Catto Studio, founded by ceramicist Mariette Groen, creates small-batch porcelain objects that blur the line between utility and storytelling. Inspired by nature, folklore, and quiet observation, each piece is made slowly, by hand, and meant to be lived with—not perfected.
