This polar bear-shaped chopstick rest is made by Kitagawa Misen Kiln, a workshop producing Arita ware in Saga Prefecture.
Design and Details
It looks as if it is sliding across ice — or perhaps swimming.
From behind, you can see small paw prints quietly added as a detail.
The surface has an even tone with a soft, subtle sheen, so it blends naturally with a variety of tableware.
A Small Moment of Playfulness
When paired with a skateboard-shaped chopstick rest from the same kiln, it brings a slightly different kind of playfulness to the table — one a little quieter, one a little more unexpected.
Who These Are For
A good fit for anyone who enjoys small, considered details on the table, anyone looking for a unique Japanese ceramic gift, or anyone who already owns the skateboard rest and wants to add to it.
