Kabosu Chopstick Rest Green - Crafted By Koyo Kiln Small Bowl Seitoen forms and paints eachPorcelain is a demanding material: it requires higher firing temperatures and less room for error than ordinary pottery. What it gives back is a surface with quiet precision the right choice for a small, considered object like a chopstick rest. Koyo Kiln is based in Saga, Japan. Each piece is made by hand from start to finish the form shaped, the surface finished, and the whole object considered as something built to be used rather than displayed.
