These chopstick rests are shaped like coffee beans.
One represents a green coffee bean,
while the other resembles a dark roasted bean.
They are made of Mino ware,
a type of pottery produced in Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
The difference in color is subtle,
but placing them side by side is quietly enjoyable.
I often use them when serving coffee and cake,
or during a small afternoon coffee break.
Resting a small fork on a “coffee bean”
feels like a playful detail on the table.
They are simple objects,
yet they add a small moment of humor
and warmth to the setting.
