Description
This ceramic chopstick rest is shaped like a little cat lying on its front, head lifted and tail raised, with a gentle dip along its back where a pair of chopsticks settles neatly. Its glossy white body carries the markings of a patchwork cat: a deep brown patch over one eye, a splash of orange on the head and orange spots along the back and tail. Black eyes, a red nose and smile, fine black whiskers and tiny red toe marks finish the face and paws. It measures 5.2cm long, 2.8cm wide and 2.5cm tall, small enough to sit beside a plate or bowl without crowding the table.
It belongs wherever you eat with chopsticks, from a weeknight bowl of noodles at the kitchen table to a slow weekend dinner with friends. Laying your chopsticks across its back keeps the tips off the table or cloth between mouthfuls, so the setting stays tidy and the sticks stay clean. Being so compact, it is just as handy on a tray for supper on the sofa as on a fully laid dining table. When it is not in use, we like it on a kitchen shelf or a desk as a tiny cat ornament with a cheerful face.
Made from ceramic with a smooth, glossy surface, it is light in the hand and rests on its belly and paws, so it sits low and the chopsticks rest neatly across it. As general good practice for ceramic, wipe it with a damp cloth or wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water, then dry it with a soft cloth. Handle it with a little care, as ceramic can chip if it is knocked or dropped on a hard floor. Set it beside your bowl for a playful touch at dinner, or wrap it up as a small, easy gift that brings a smile to the table.
