• Descriptions: Used to prevent the tip of chopsticks from touching the table when not in use (both before and after a meal).  They are also used to prevent chopsticks from rolling off of the table, and as decorative items.  Often seen in restaurants, they can also be seen in homes during formal events.  They are produced in various designs, and are commonly made out of materials such as porcelain, ceramic, silver, glass, and wood.
