Pique pattern full of tiny triangles
This is a pique pattern chopstick rest with a cute triangular pattern. 
The "ORIME" series is made from textile motifs. The "pique" pattern is based on the white spot pattern seen on the back of a baby deer. When lined up, they look like high-quality chocolate sweets. 
A has an overall bluish-white color typical of white porcelain. B has a reddish appearance with an earthy look. You can enjoy the different fades and shading of each color.
Add a little joy to your life
It goes well with not only Japanese tableware, but also Western tableware such as Scandinavian utensils. It would also be great to use it as a cutlery rest during tea time with brass spoons and forks. As it has a simple silhouette, it goes perfectly with any table coordination! 
Chopstick rests are an excellent item that can easily change the atmosphere of your dining table. I love that it's easy to give as a small gift.

| Kiln manufacturer's recommended maintenance | ・If you soak it in water for a while before use, it will prevent stains from getting in. ・After using the utensils, wash them as soon as possible and dry them thoroughly. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. |
| Product characteristics/ Handling precautions |
・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern and color may differ. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Very small "sunspots", "paint skips", and "pinholes that do not reach the base" may be seen on the surface of the pottery. ・When placed on a table, etc., there may be some wobbling that is not a problem for use. ・Due to the nature of the glaze flowing down the edges, it may be slightly thinner. ・In rare cases, penetration (cracks in the surface glaze) may occur during the use process, but this is not a crack or breakage, so there is no problem with use. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |
Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 
Because each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Since the glaze is applied one by one by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 
〇The pattern is made using a stamp, so you can see overlapping patterns in some places. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.
