Description
My Leaf Chop Stick Rests make a beautiful edition to any oriental dining experience. Made using real leaves and glazed with a calming green and white finish with a subtle ‘toasted’ speckling to mimic the spotting on the real leaves. Each box set includes a pair of rests (1 per person), 2 pairs of chop sticks and a presentation box.
Making Process
Firstly, I use either a small ‘Budleja Leaf‘ to create the leaf impression in clay and then form it into a small curved rest. The foot of the rest is created by applying a second smaller leaf to the base for that extra special finishing touch. My Leaf Chop Stick Rests are perfect as gifts for people who appreciate handmade ceramics. They make an especially pleasing ‘Dine for Two’ gift when combined with a matching Sushi Dish (also available in my shop).
I use stoneware clay fired to 1260 degrees, making each rest durable for functional purposes. All glazes are dishwasher and food safe. However please read the additional care instructions below.

Care
Please treat as a bone china plate. Hand wash in order to retain the glossy finish of the overall glaze. This will also help to retain the integrity of the glazed edges.
