What are the exact dimensions (diameter, height) and weight of the ashtray?

The ashtray measures 105–110 mm in diameter, 30–40 mm high, and weighs 220–260 g. The listed product weight of 0.24 kg (240 g) falls within that range.

Does the ashtray have a built-in holder or hole to stand an incense stick upright, or does it only catch ash falling from a separate holder?

Yes — it's described as a multi-purpose incense holder and ash tray combo, so the piece itself holds the incense stick as well as catching the ash. The holder hole diameter isn't specified, only the overall bowl size.

What length and thickness of incense sticks does it accommodate, and does it fit the Addition Studio sticks it's paired with?

The listing doesn't publish a maximum stick length or thickness, but it says the tray is proportioned for incense sticks and pairs naturally with Addition Studio Incense Sticks, so those are the intended fit. Exact diameter limits aren't stated.

Can the ashtray be cleaned with soap and water, and will hot incense ash cause staining, discolouration, or crazing over time?

Yes — the care instruction is hand wash only, so mild soap and water is fine. Properly fired ceramic glaze is non-porous and generally holds up well to incense ash, though no long-term staining or crazing claim is published.

Where is the ashtray manufactured, and is the clay locally sourced or small-batch?

The ashtray is made in Melbourne, Australia, using locally sourced clay and Melbourne-made glazes. Each piece is wheel-thrown and finished by hand, so there are slight variations in size and form.

Product Insights

The PUDL Incense Ashtray is a wheel-thrown, handmade Melbourne ceramic piece that collapses the incense holder and ash catcher into a single compact 11 cm bowl, designed as ritual decor to be left out rather than hidden away. Its uniform, evenly walled form is glazed with Melbourne-made glazes and priced at AU$55, placing it mid-market between AU$25 and AU$125 and undercutting a comparable AU$65 dish while saving space by replacing two separate items. The tradeoff: it requires hand-washing with mild soap, and the holder-hole fit varies piece to piece, with Addition Studio sticks the intended pairing.

Deep Research

Handmade ceramic craftsmanship and market value

PUDL’s origin story — ‘Born from a prescription. Built for the ritual.’ — recasts the Incense Ashtray as a piece of intentional home decor meant to be displayed, not hidden, giving it a cultural value that goes beyond function and makes $55 feel like an investment in a design-led, stigma-free object.
With a price of $55, the PUDL ashtray sits at the middle of the Australian handmade incense holder market, which ranges from $25 for Kaz Morton’s raku dish to $125 for the Claire Ellis recycled-material art piece — a sweet spot that makes wheel-thrown, locally sourced craft accessible without entering the art-object tier.
The PUDL ashtray is wheel-thrown, a technique that yields a uniform, evenly walled profile — a more controlled aesthetic than the hand-built shaping of the $65 Ochre Muse Dish, and yet at $55 it undercuts that artisanal competitor by $10, delivering a technically demanding make for less.
At roughly 11 cm diameter, the PUDL ashtray is about 25% more compact than the 15 cm Ochre Muse Dish, fitting more easily onto narrow ledges or crowded surfaces while still handling standard incense sticks — a $10 savings over the larger form that doesn’t sacrifice the handmade feel.
The PUDL Incense Ashtray is explicitly a multi-purpose holder and ash tray, a functional combination that single-use incense accessories like the $32 Emily Only holder don’t offer — so the $23 premium effectively buys an ash-catcher and eliminates the need for a separate item, streamlining the burn setup.
Where the $65 Ochre Muse Dish uses broadly Australian stoneware clay, the PUDL narrows its supply chain to Melbourne-sourced clay and Melbourne-made glazes, creating a tighter local loop that directly supports Victorian artisans and gives the $55 price a more precise sense of place.

Incense stick fit and compatibility

Because every PUDL Incense Ashtray is wheel-thrown and hand-finished, the holder hole — like the rim and profile — carries subtle dimensional variation, so your specific piece may accept a stick with a slightly different snugness than another; this isn’t a tolerance issue but the hallmark of an artisan object, and it means the fit is always a personal discovery rather than a guaranteed dimension.
