Red Bamboo Chopsticks with Ceramic Cat Rest — 8¾-inch

Red bamboo chopsticks and a reclining ceramic cat rest bring a character detail to the place setting. The chopsticks measure 8¾ inches long, with patterned upper handles above the plain red shafts. The pale cat figure has dark accents and serves as the companion rest, measuring 2 inches long, 1 inch wide and 0.6 inch high.

Set the chopsticks beside a rice bowl, noodle dish or plated meal, using the cat rest during pauses between bites. White dishes repeat the pale figure, while dark bowls connect with its accents and leave the red shafts prominent. A geometric or wave-patterned chopstick-and-rest set offers another design, and a wooden scoop-shaped rest gives the same tabletop role a different form. Add a separate sauce dish when serving foods with a dip. The bamboo-and-ceramic set is made in China and is hand wash only.
