Arita Ware Chopstick Rest – Condiment Bottles

A set of porcelain chopstick rests shaped like the condiment bottles that live in every fridge door — mayonnaise and ketchup — a playful little touch for the table.

Nanpu is an Arita-based ceramics manufacturer in Saga prefecture (Kyushu). These chopstick rests (hashioki) take a knowing, affectionate look at the everyday Japanese kitchen: the squeezy mayonnaise and ketchup bottles, rendered in miniature porcelain. They will hold chopsticks, of course — but also a spoon, fork or small ladle — and they make an easy, fun small gift.
