chopstick rests
Tabletop utensil holders
Chopstick rests are small objects placed on a table to keep chopsticks elevated when not in use, preventing the eating ends from touching the surface.
They come in countless shapes and materials—ceramic, wood, metal, glass—and range from simple bars to decorative figurines.
Common in Japanese and Korean dining, less so in Chinese settings: The restaurant had little ceramic crane chopstick rests.
