This piece measures 2.38 inches long and it is a ceramic Chopstick Rest called the Hashioki in Japanese that depicts a Japanese Kokeshi doll wearing an emerald green, blue and pink kimono. It was entirely hand painted.
Hashioki is a rest to lay your chopsticks on so as not to soil the tablecloth or keep them from getting soiled during the meal. Variety of designs and mediums are used and they in turn add a charm to an Asian style dinner setting for the holidays to delight guests. Though they are called Chopstick rests, they are also great for resting a knife as well as a fork. This lovely piece was made for the Japanese market. The condition is very good and its age is from the 1990's.
