Description
For a truly Maine-made dining experience, set your table with our custom iron chopstick rests. These rests are individually hand-forged in Appleton, Maine by blacksmith and craftsman Christopher Flansburg of Flansburg Forge. Every mark of the blacksmith’s hammer is visible on the surface of the rest and adds a touch of the ruggedness and beauty of Maine to your meal. As each chopstick rest is individually made, they will all have slight differences, adding to their uniqueness!
Complete your table setting by pairing our hand-forged chopstick rests with our Korean Satin Chopsticks. Buy a set and save $2 off per set of chopsticks + chopstick rest, or save $10 when buying a set of 4!
DISHWASHING: Chopsticks and rests are not dishwasher safe. Handwash only with mild soap and warm fresh water. Chopstick rests may rust if not dried after washing. To maintain the beautiful patina on your rest, thoroughly dry and then rub with a thin coating of food-grade oil.
PRODUCT ORIGIN: Chopsticks made in South Korea, chopstick rests made in Maine.
