Chopstick rest Sakura Pottery Rosemary Hasami ware

Elegant and mature atmosphere

This chopstick rest will add a dignified elegance to your everyday dining table. Rosemary is a fragrant herb that is said to have mysterious powers. Rosemary has been loved by people since ancient times as a lucky charm because of its ability to purify bad things. The beautiful shading of rosemary that changes depending on how the glaze accumulates and its smooth texture are also great features that make you want to use it every day. The slightly orange-tinged pink is just the right amount of sweetness, giving it a mature feel. There's a wide variety of colors to choose from, so you'll want to stock up on a series for your family and guests.

The beautiful rectangular shape allows you to store it neatly and comfortably. It goes well with not only Japanese tableware, but also Western tableware such as Scandinavian utensils. It's also a good idea to use it as a cutlery rest for wooden spoons and forks during tea time. Chopstick rests are an excellent item that can easily change the atmosphere of your dining table. It's perfect for a small gift.

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】 As the glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly, and each piece will have a different color. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Sunspot] You can see black dots here and there. [Other notes] 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer. ■For more information, please see here.
