Description
This chopsticks and rests set brings a little cat charm to the table, with two pairs of beech wood chopsticks and two ceramic rests shaped like small cats lying down. Most of each chopstick is left in the warm, natural tone of the beech, while the top section is printed with a column of cat faces in black, white, ginger and brown, broken up by tiny fishbone motifs. One pair carries the print on a bright blue ground and the other on a leafy green. The two rests are glossy white ceramic cats with ginger and black patches and sweet painted faces. The chopsticks are 22.5cm long and 0.8cm across.
It comes into its own on a noodle night at home: a steaming bowl of ramen, a plate of stir-fried udon, a sushi supper or a simple bowl of rice. The rests give each pair somewhere tidy to sit between mouthfuls, keeping the tips off the table, and the cats look just as cheerful lying beside a plate as they do tucked away in a drawer. With two settings in the box, it suits a dinner for two, a lazy weekend lunch or a takeaway night on the sofa, and it is a friendly way to try eating with chopsticks.
The chopsticks are made from beech, a smooth, close-grained wood, and the rests are glazed ceramic cats that sit neatly on the table. As good practice for wood, we suggest washing the chopsticks by hand in warm soapy water and drying them straight away rather than leaving them to soak; the ceramic rests can be washed by hand and dried with a soft cloth. The set comes in a plain kraft card box with a printed sleeve, so it is ready to wrap as a present, or lay it out beside a pair of bowls for a table that makes everyone smile.
