These items are almost unused, found while cleaning out my parents' house, and I've used three of them a few times. One piece has some noticeable residue from firing. I don't know what type of ware it is, but it's handmade, a very pale greenish ceramic. There are individual differences. They're shaped like a magnolia leaf dish used as a chopstick rest. The back of 5 out of 6 pieces are marked, and I believe the characters read something like "Mita Kiln?" They have a soft feel that works well with both Japanese and Western styles, so please use them everyday. Once you start using chopstick rests, even inexpensive chopsticks take on a certain charm, and it's quite enjoyable. I'm selling these because I have several chopstick rests in similar colors.
