The late Shōwa period saw an enormous variety of figural and novelty forms produced for both domestic use and the tourist trade — fish, birds, animals, seasonal motifs, and abstract forms among the most common. Hand-formed examples in this scale retain the slight irregularities and glaze variations that distinguish them from later machine-made production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWare: Japanese ceramic, hand-formed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFunction: Hashioki (箸置き) — chopstick rest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePeriod: Late Shōwa, c. 1970s–1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDimensions: Approximately 2\"–4\" L (5–10 cm); see photos for specifics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Please see photos for details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Consignment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929217859901,"sku":"26L0266A","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/2348\/3709\/files\/E813DF06-0373-47F0-9197-44C0666CC9CC_1_201_a.heic?v=1783282330","url":"https:\/\/shogunsgallery.com\/products\/vintage-japanese-hashioki-ceramic-glazed-chopstick-rest-3l","provider":"Shogun's Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
