Description
This blue and white cat set brings two shallow ceramic dipping bowls, two pairs of beech wood chopsticks and two little ceramic chopstick rests together for a table laid for two. Each bowl carries its own sleepy, smiling cat curled round the dish: one is white with soft blue patches and a blue heart tucked by its tail, the other a deep blue cat with a white muzzle and chest, one paw raised. The chopsticks are finished in white and decorated with tiny beckoning cats, small gold coin motifs and a band of red blossom, and each is 22.5cm long, a comfortable length for everyday meals. The rests are shaped like small reclining cats, white with blue grey heads and pink cheeks.
We see this set coming out for noodle nights, homemade dumplings and a takeaway at the kitchen table. The shallow bowls are just right for soy sauce, dipping sauces, pickles or a few small appetisers, and they sit happily beside a larger noodle bowl. Laying the chopsticks on the little cats keeps the tips off the table between bites and adds a playful touch. With two of everything, it is ready for a dining table or breakfast bar set for two.
The bowls and rests are glazed ceramic and the chopsticks are beech wood with a white finish, so the whole set is light to handle. We suggest washing every piece by hand in warm soapy water and drying the chopsticks straight away, as wood is happiest when it is not left to soak. The set arrives in a fitted kraft card box with a place for each piece, which keeps everything tidy in a cupboard and makes it easy to wrap as a present. Set the two cat bowls side by side on a plain linen cloth and their deep blue really sings.
