Black yuzu Silver painted Round Pattern Chopstick Rest — Hand-Formed Japanese Porcelain by Toetsu KilnPorcelain is a demanding material: it requires higher firing temperatures and less room for error than ordinary pottery. What it gives back is a surface with quiet precision the right choice for a small, considered object like a chopstick rest. Toetsu Kiln is based in Saga, Japan. Each piece is made by hand from start to finish the form shaped, the surface finished, and the whole object considered as something built to be used rather than displayed.
