Giyaman Chopstick Rest Blue | Hashioki Mino Ware
Couldn't load pickup availability
Just like lacquer or glass!
This is an elegant chopstick rest. Made with a high-quality, glossy glaze, it has an attractive, calming atmosphere. 
"Giyaman" is a foreign word meaning glass that was used from the Edo period to the beginning of the Meiji period. This is a highly complete series that expresses a transparent texture similar to glass and a deep texture reminiscent of lacquerware. 
Just add one chopstick rest to create a neat atmosphere. What's great about it is that you can easily change the atmosphere. Choose chopstick rests according to the day's cuisine, utensils, and mood. I think it will be fun to prepare meals.

About the style and atmosphere
The Giyaman series is designed with the motif of chrysanthemums, and is a moist, beautiful, and elegant addition to your dining table. The calm and chic colors complement the food well. Personally, I would like to pair it with earthenware pottery that has a rough texture and enjoy the smooth and glossy feel of this pottery as an accent.

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.
