Whether setting a casual or formal table, this set of four natural bamboo placemats exudes a pleasing Asian aesthetic. Bamboo, a grass, grows quickly to harvestable size and is considered an environmentally sound replacement for slow-growing trees. These mats, each measuring 16-1/2 by 11-3/4 inches, are made of thin strips of peeled bamboo sewn horizontally. A wider unpeeled strip adds stability to either end, while a third sets off a portion of the mat to hold a napkin and chopsticks, if desired. The bamboo mats resist hot plates, wipe off with soap and water, and roll up for easy storage. --Ann Bieri ... Read more

A lovely example of the traditional cast-iron teapots known in Japan as tetsubin, this black pot with its delicate, hand-cast hobnail design is not only prized as a collectible, but also brews 24 ounces of tea perfectly. Its interior is glazed in enamel, so it won't rust or corrode; nor will its stainless-steel infuser. To make soothing, full-flavored tea, simply spoon loose tea leaves into the infuser, pour on simmering water, and allow to steep for three to five minutes. The heavy cast-iron construction retains heat so well, it ensures second cups will still be hot. The little pot stands just 6 inches high with its handle raised but weighs 3-1/2 pounds. --Fred Brack ... Read more

love 'em
I like the colors. I'm a colorful person. These look great in my silverware drawer. :) If you like to wear chopsticks in your hair, they look nice as an accessory, too.

Chopsticks to love.
I have made a habit of buying chopstick sets as gifts for my husband, ever since we started dating. I found these as stocking stuffers last Christmas, and he named them as his favorite gift from me.

Beautiful and functional, these chopsticks stand out in our collection for being both modern and traditional. The unusual color combination is every bit as vibrant as it is depicted online, a great surprise.

The laqueur can make them a bit slick for tackling dishes like shark fin stews -- I have dropped mine a few times, but then again, my notorious ineptitude with chopsticks may make that more likely to happen to me with or without laquer -- but they are well constructed and hold up well after multiple washings and heavy use.

For entertaining, nothing beats these gorgeous chopsticks. For one dinner, we mix-and-matched the colors to create a different (and stunning) visual effect to rave reviews.

Highly recommended, for eye-candy *and* utility.

Very pretty and versatile
I love all the colors of these chopsticks, and especially that they complement each other--the perfect word, considering how often I get compliments from my guests. They're fun and dressy at the same time, and they're a good size and shape--long enough for people with big hands, but their fine points also make "dainty" work easy. And they dress up any table setting (even if some guests choose to use a fork). ... Read more
