A coffee bean-shaped chopstick rest, adding a small, playful touch to the table.
These chopstick rests are shaped like coffee beans.
They are made of Mino ware, a type of pottery produced in Gifu Prefecture.
Design and Details
Two beans sit side by side as one piece, with a small groove between them where chopsticks or a fork can rest.
They come in three colors — brown, light brown, and cream — each evoking a different stage of the roasting process.
Simple in form, yet they carry a small moment of humor and warmth.
How I Use Them
I often reach for these during a small afternoon coffee break. Placing them beside a coffee cup adds a small, playful touch to the table.
Who These Are For
A good fit for anyone who loves coffee, anyone looking for a small and playful Japanese ceramic gift, or anyone who enjoys adding a little personality to the table.
