With a satisfyingly coarse texture that calls to mind the line's earthen origins, the Frustum Chopstick Rest sports an unusual white indigo glaze and elegant geometric profile designed in collaboration with Keita Hanazawa, founder of Mag Design Lab.
Each porcelain piece is crafted from granite clay locally harvested in Toki, Japan, and fired in a 150-year-old kiln by master craftspeople.

Yamatsu Teaware
The craftworks of Shinzangama Yamatsu Co. can be traced all the way back to 1868 - the very first year of the Meiji era - when the company began creating Mino ware ceramics, a regional specialty. The clay around Toki, the home of Shinzangama Yamatsu, comes from granite eroded over millennia by wind, rain and the flow of the local Shonai River. Today, the brand combines these high-quality natural materials with its 150 years of experience to create unique kitchen and home goods that bring color to people's lives.
