Neko Chigura Mike Japanese Chopstick Rest

Neko Chigura Mike Japanese Chopstick Rest

This chopstick rest is modelled on Mike, the calico cat of the Neko Chigura series, caught mid-frolic with its markings drawn in soft blue on white ceramic.

At 4.4cm long it holds a pair of chopsticks clear of the table between mouthfuls, and it works equally well as a rest for a spoon or serving fork.
