A kiln in Japan specialises in Arita ware(有田焼), since 1865. 

"The crane and the tortoise are emblems of longevity."

The chopstick rest of Tortoise:

The shell of the turtle has an auspicious hemp leaf pattern. The hemp leaf grows straight and grows fast and is durable, so it is especially desirable for the baby to grow, and it is often used for navel wear. On the chopstick rest, there is a finer pattern on the shell, and you can feel the sense of the creator.

The chopstick rest of Crane:

It will be a crane that is a symbol of longevity. Reliefs, gold and silver are applied. Great attention to detail.

As every piece has its handmade feature, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
