Adorable appearance

A chopstick rest in the shape of a polar bear that looks like it's swimming smoothly in the sea. The little ears and eyes are so cute! It's solid and thick, and although it's small, it has a lot of presence. The nice thing about it is that the back of the neck is concave, so the chopsticks don't easily roll around. A cute item perfect for relaxing at home.

Director of the dining table

It goes great with Japanese tableware as well as Western tableware. Goes great with brass and wooden cutlery! Chopstick rests are an excellent item that can easily change the atmosphere of your dining table. Although it is small, it is a hard worker, so it is perfect for everyday use and as a gift.

About the style and atmosphere

These works are packed with cuteness in a small, palm-sized appearance. By arranging works with flowers and food motifs, you can instantly create a cheerful atmosphere at the dining table. Porcelain is durable and easy to handle, and its light weight and thickness make it easy to use on a daily basis. I also like that it can be used in the microwave and dishwasher. While retaining its traditional charm, it fits naturally into modern life. Each item has a different pattern,  color, etc., so some items may look like the ones in the photo. The color shading and fading have a unique handmade texture. Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, as no two items are the same. ■Others, list page. Please find your favorite.

Arita ware

Arita ware is porcelain manufactured in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. It is said to be the first porcelain made in Japan, and has been widely used as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. Arita ware has a strong image of transparent white porcelain and decoration, but there are also many items that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.

Kiln owner's recommendation for maintenance

-For ceramic materials, soaking the pot in water for a while before use will prevent stains and spots from penetrating. For more information, please click here. About cleaning the utensils.
-After use, wash the pot as soon as possible, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odor.

Product Characteristics/Handling Precautions

-Due to the handmade nature of this product, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc.
-There may be pinholes, patterns, and colors may vary.
-The surface of the items may have very small "black spots" or "paint splashes" or "pinholes that do not reach the base of the items.
-This product is recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture of handmade products with a different look and feel for each piece.
-The surface of the glaze may be cracked during use, but this is not a crack or breakage and will not interfere with its use.
-Prices are subject to review and revision by artists and potters.

What you need to know before purchasing

-The appearance of items is created by spots, blurs, unevenness of glaze, shading, and deflection of shape, which cannot be found in mass-produced items.
-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.

Other Notes

-Some pieces have engraving on the reverse side of the piece, while others do not. Please note that we are unable to make any specifications.
