Description
This little ceramic chopstick rest takes the shape of a sausage dog, long and low, with a glossy white glaze and warm orange-brown patches on its ear, back, chest and hindquarters. Its tiny eye and the tip of its nose are picked out in dark blue, and its tail points up cheerfully at the back. It measures 7.2cm long, 1.9cm wide and 2.9cm tall, so it sits neatly beside a plate or bowl without crowding the place setting. The dog's back gives a pair of chopsticks a natural place to lie between its head and its raised tail, keeping the tips lifted off the table while you eat.
We think it earns its place at any meal eaten with chopsticks, whether that is a weeknight noodle supper, a homemade sushi evening or a takeaway shared around the kitchen table. Set one at each place and the table looks cared for and fun at the same time, a small detail that tends to start a conversation. Between meals it tucks away easily in a kitchen drawer or sits out on an open shelf beside your bowls, ready for the next stir-fry. Its playful shape suits a relaxed family table as well as a dinner with friends.
It is made from ceramic with a smooth, glossy glaze, and it stands steadily on its short legs on a table, a placemat or a folded napkin. Looking after it is simple: wipe it with a damp cloth after each meal and dry it well, as you would any small piece of glazed ceramic, and handle it with a little care, since a knock against a hard floor or worktop can chip it. Wrapped in a twist of tissue, it makes a charming small present, and it looks its best laid with a favourite pair of chopsticks across its back, ready for supper.
