Slight variations in glaze and shape are the mark of a handmade piece — no two are exactly alike. Learn more in our guide to Japanese tableware.

Forest Blue Japanese Ceramic Chopstick Rest

The Forest Blue Japanese Ceramic Chopstick Rest adds a cheerful, artistic touch to the dining table. Each piece is decorated using the traditional copper-plate transfer technique (douban tensha「銅板転写」), with the blue pattern carefully applied to the ceramic surface.

At approximately 4.5cm across, it sits neatly beside plates and bowls without crowding the table, and mixes easily with other designs in the collection for a colourful, coordinated setting.

Use & Care
  • Care guide: How to care for handmade Japanese tableware.
  • Microwave & dishwasher: Most of our tableware handles both, but pieces with gold or metallic accents should stay out of the microwave — check each product page.
  • First use: A quick wash in warm water is all new pieces need.
  • Stacking: Place a cloth or paper between stacked pieces to protect glazes from scratching.
  • Stubborn stains: A soak in warm water with a little baking soda lifts tea and coffee stains gently.
