Cutlery Rests

Cutlery Rests — Small details that complete the Japanese table
Each cutlery rest by Akio Momota is handcrafted in Arita, Japan, using the same traditional porcelain methods as his bowls, cups, and vases.

These small pieces add refinement and intention to any table setting. Available in Momota-san’s signature glazes — including Koku-yu and Sabi-yu — each rest is shaped and glazed by hand, making no two exactly alike.

Perfect as functional tableware, small gifts, or as part of a curated dining set, these cutlery rests bring a touch of Japanese elegance to everyday meals.
