A chopstick rest shaped like a chicken wing, made by Ihoshiro Kiln in Gifu Prefecture.
Design and Details
The color and texture resemble grilled chicken skin, recreated in ceramic with surprising detail.
Each piece is shaped and finished by hand without the use of machinery, so the color and form vary slightly from one to another, giving each one a warmth that only handmade work can carry.
On the Table
Familiar in form, but slightly unexpected as a chopstick rest — it adds a subtle, playful touch to the table.
When placed out, it often becomes a small conversation piece.
It’s the kind of object that brings a quiet smile each time you reach for it.
Who This Is For
A good fit for anyone who enjoys unexpected details on the table, anyone looking for a unique and conversation-worthy gift, or anyone who already owns the grilled fish rest and wants to add to it.
