chopstick rest

Dining table accessory

A chopstick rest is a small object placed on a table to keep chopsticks off the surface when not in use.

Rests come in countless shapes and materials—ceramic, metal, wood, glass—and range from simple bars to decorative figures.

They prevent the eating ends of chopsticks from touching the table and keep them from rolling away.
