This listing is for a hakuji glaze Year of the Rabbit toothpick holder. It was made using a press mould and glazed white. Toothpick holders like these are also ideal for growing air plants.
Hakuji refers to high-fired porcelain that was created by applying transparent glaze to white paste. The technique evolved from those used in China and Korea, and Korean potter Ri Sampei is said to be the first to begin producing porcelain-ware here in Japan. Originally hakuji was simply a base colour for Kakiemon and Nabeshima pieces. It was not until the Meiji Period that people began to appreciate the raw beauty of plain white porcelain. Although simple in appearance it is actually very difficult to fire hakuji pieces without flaws, thus making it very expensive.
