Brass Chopstick Rests – Four Moon

I am Four Moon Chopstick Rests.  I am like a guiding light, a relief to see for wandering chopsticks drifting aimlessly in the evenings. My shining surface is a blessing and my perfect curvature alleviates weary limbs until they’re ready to attack again.

Curator’s Notes

We love how these chopstick rests are functional objects and beautiful display objects simultaneously. They also come in a thoughtfully designed wooden holding box that makes storing them easy and elegant.
