Japanese porcelain fired to precise temperatures carries a surface quality that no other ceramic achieves — smooth without being cold, translucent under strong light, clean without looking clinical. This chopstick rest brings that quality to the smallest detail of a table setting. Sachiko Niijima works in Ibaraki, Japan, making each piece by hand at a pace that allows every object to receive full attention. The craft tradition behind this work is regional and long-established — a way of making that the area has sustained for generations. Japanese craft has shaped the way the world thinks about handmade objects, and a piece like this brings that tradition to your own table. Formed and finished by hand. The glaze settles differently on every piece, so no two are alike. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Porcelain Made in Ibaraki, Japan Artisan: Sachiko Niijima Size: 5.2 × 1.5 × 1.2 cm (2.0 × 0.6 × 0.5 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and finish are the mark of a true handmade object.
