Origami Crane Porcelain Asian Chopstick Rest (Rest Only)
Are you looking to add a little extra touch to your Asian-themed event? The Origami Crane Porcelain Asian Chopstick Rest provides a great accent to your guests' place settings and serves as an excellent favor too. It is a small piece of porcelain shaped like the folded paper crane everyone recognizes, with the long neck, the lifted tail and the crisp diagonal folds a paper square makes, and it sits beside a plate looking like someone spent the afternoon folding for each guest.
It is a working piece as much as a pretty one. A chopstick rest keeps the tips of a pair of chopsticks off the tablecloth between courses, which matters on a long banquet table where every setting is watched. At 2" wide, the crane is small enough to sit next to a plate or on top of a chopstick sleeve without crowding the setting, and porcelain has the weight and the quiet gloss that makes a table feel considered rather than decorated.
The crane carries meaning as well. In Japanese tradition the paper crane stands for good fortune, long life and faithfulness, which is why folded cranes appear so often at weddings and anniversaries. Setting one at each seat says something to your guests without a single word printed on it, and it suits a wedding banquet, a tea ceremony reception, a Lunar New Year dinner, an anniversary party or a sushi night at home equally well.
When the evening ends, the crane goes home in a pocket or a purse and lands on someone's own table, which is the whole point of a good favor: it gets used instead of forgotten. This listing is the chopstick rest only, with no personalization on the porcelain, so it is ready to use the moment it arrives, and it pairs naturally with the personalized chopsticks from HansonEllis, which has made wedding favors and personalized gifts since 1999.
Choose your quantity above and set a small good-luck crane at every place.

Which one should I choose

|---|---|
| Fortune Cookie Porcelain Asian Chopstick Rest | Choose that when you want a lighter, more playful shape that guests recognize instantly at a sushi dinner or party. |
| Personalized chopsticks from HansonEllis | Choose those when the favor itself has to carry each guest's name or a message, engraved rather than plain. |
The crane is the one for a formal or meaningful occasion, and it works best set beside the personalized chopsticks so the place setting is complete.
