The Black & White Snowflake Chopstick Rest Set from Seizan Kiln includes two petite porcelain dishes, one finished in a deep matte black glaze and the other in a soft, snowy white.

The contrast between the dark and light finishes creates a visually striking pairing that suits both modern and classic table settings.

Though compact, these versatile dishes serve multiple purposes. They can be used as elegant chopstick rests, as holders for condiments or dipping sauces, or even as small plates for sweets and garnishes. The raised base adds stability, while the smooth surface is comfortable to handle and easy to clean.

Blending historical inspiration with contemporary design, the Black & White Snowflake Chopstick Rest Set brings a refined accent to your dining table. Whether for everyday use or as part of a special occasion setting, they are a graceful addition to any Japanese tableware collection.

Imari Nabeshima Ware

Imari Nabeshima ware originated in Okawachiyama, Saga Prefecture, during the early Edo period under the patronage of the Nabeshima clan. Produced exclusively for shoguns and feudal lords, it represented the height of Japanese porcelain artistry. Each piece was crafted with precision and decorated in styles such as iro-Nabeshima with overglaze enamel, ai-Nabeshima in cobalt blue, and Nabeshima seiji with a soft celadon finish. After the Meiji Restoration, new artisans continued its legacy, preserving the refined beauty and balance that define this distinguished tradition.

Chopstick Rest

When setting the table for a Japanese meal, chopstick rests (hashioki) are a must-have item. These rests are essential for hygiene so the chopsticks don’t touch the table. They are also a wonderful way to add whimsy, charm, and a personal touch to your table setting. With so many themes and designs to choose, chopstick rests are quite popular to collect. It's fun to switch them up for different seasons, menus, and occasions.

FAQ

How big are your chopstick rests?

Most JOC Goods chopstick rests measure 2.5–4.5 cm (about 1–1.8 in) long, which is the standard size for Japanese chopstick rests — intentionally compact to sit unobtrusively beside a plate. Exact dimensions in centimeters are listed on each product page; please check before ordering, as the real piece is often smaller than photos suggest.

Are the small dents, pinholes, or texture marks on this ceramic piece a defect?

No. These marks are normal characteristics of handcrafted Japanese ceramics, formed during shaping, glazing, or firing in small kilns. Subtle dents, tiny pinholes, and slight texture variations are part of the artisan process — not defects. If you see clear cracks, chips, or peeling glaze, please email support@jocgoods.com with photos.

Are the small black or dark specks in the glaze safe?

Yes, the dark specks are safe. They are natural iron minerals in the clay that react during high-temperature firing, leaving small marks under the glaze. They do not affect food safety, durability, or performance, and are part of the organic character of handmade Japanese pottery.

Do your ceramic dishes contain lead or cadmium?

Some glazed ceramic pieces may contain trace amounts of lead or cadmium sealed beneath the glaze, at levels safe for food use. Japanese ceramic tableware is regulated under the Food Sanitation Act, which sets leaching limits for lead and cadmium in glazed tableware. Testing standards differ by country, so we cannot guarantee compliance with every regional regulation.

Why does each handcrafted bowl or plate look slightly different from the photo?

Each piece is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand in small artisan kilns across Japan, so subtle differences in color, glaze pattern, weight, and even rim shape are expected. No two pieces are identical. This natural variation is what makes each item one of a kind, not a quality flaw.

Even if a ceramic piece is dishwasher safe, should I still hand-wash it?

Dishwasher-safe pieces can go in the dishwasher, and doing so will not damage the glaze. That said, ceramic (earthenware) is more prone to chipping than porcelain, and pieces can knock against the rack or other dishes while loading and unloading — which is the most common cause of small chips. For longevity, hand-washing with warm water and a soft sponge is gentler.

Can I add a gift message to my order?

Yes. You may add a personalized gift message of up to 250 characters at checkout — it is printed on a card and included inside the package. Prices and order details are never shown on the card or anywhere in the shipment, so the recipient sees only your message and the gift itself.

Will my order be wrapped as a gift?

Yes. Every JOC Goods order is wrapped in a traditional Japanese furoshiki cloth before shipping at no extra charge — both gifts and personal orders. If your order includes many or large items, the furoshiki may be packed inside the box rather than wrapped around them. Prices are never included in any shipment.
