Description

This toothpick holder boasts a uniquely crafted design with a handle, blending functionality with artistry. Its earthy tones and distinctive style make it a visually striking addition to any dining table. Not only for presenting toothpicks, this piece can also be used to angle in small blooms or twigs for your green touches. 

Graced with the sangiri pattern, Hozan Kiln's toothpick holder captures the essence of fire's dance with clay. "San" hints at the kiln's wall, where ash accumulates transforming pieces into shades of grayish or blackish brown, depending on their exposure to fire and ash.

Each firing yields distinct patterns, making each holder a one-of-a-kind art piece.

Bizen ware is a traditional stoneware produced in the Imbe area of Okayama Prefecture. It is one of the oldest ceramics in Japan, and is made using the yakishime technique, in which pieces are fired at high temperatures without glaze to make them durable and water-resistant. 

Hozan Kiln is a long-established Bizen Ware kiln located in Imbe, Bizen City. For Bizen ware, there were six families that had been under the protection of the shogunate (government) since the 17th century. Hozan Kiln is known as one of them and continues to this day as the legitimate successor of Bizen ware.
