Adding ceramic chopstick rests shaped like shells to your table is a great way to bring a refreshing feel. These accessories have an authentic texture, which makes them seem like they were taken straight from nature.

This particular type of pattern is created through the method known as fukizumi (spraying ink). It involves using water-soluble paint or blue pigment called gosu, which is dispersed by running a stiff brush over a fine mesh strainer and applying it to the surface of the porcelain base. A technique such as this can often be seen on undergrazed porcelain pieces.

The classic design adds color to the dining scene, making this set a good choice as a first set of chopstick rests.

With their smooth surface, ceramic chopstick rests are the go-to material for daily use. Not only are they easy to keep clean, but they coordinate with a myriad of tableware.
