Ladle Stand Cup, Made in Gifu Prefecture
Clean and stylish, this Ladle and Utensil Rest is perfectly sized to accommodate both a ladle and chopsticks. This stand is convenient both in the kitchen and in the dining room. Its simple yet refined design, featuring a notch for resting chopsticks, ensures they won't roll away, offering a stress-free cooking experience.
Fashioned from pristine porcelain with a subtle pear-like sheen, it brings a tasteful charm to any dining table. The stand is also designed as a bowl, so it can be used as a tasting cup for your soup and/or stew during cooking.
*Due to the nature of pottery, there may be variations in the glaze, as well as the iron powder (small dark specks from the minerals in the clay), or pinholes (tiny indentations in the glaze). These characteristics are inherent to the ceramic craft and highlight the unique wabi sabi beauty of each handmade piece.
