This listing is for a vintage Tokoname-ware toothpick holder possibly made to commemorate the Year of the Rabbit back in 1999. It has been made using a press mould and coated with red slip. The opening for toothpicks can be found in the lucky mallet alongside the rabbit. Toothpick holders like these are also ideal for growing air plants. 

Tokoname-ware refers to stoneware pottery made in Tokoname City in Aichi Prefecture. This type of pottery has been in production for over 1000 years, and originally potters created religious items as well as tea utensils. Tokoname-ware is now more widely known for its pottery using red clay.
