#1470 A pair of Japanese Maneki-neko ceramic chopstick rests.

1” no chips or cracks .Maneki-neko, or beckoning cat, is a common Japanese figurine which is believed to bring good luck to the owner. These figurines are often placed in shops, restaurants, and homes to attract customers and fortune. The gesture of the cat's paw, raised as if beckoning, is central to its symbolism.

These particular figurines appear to be designed as chopstick rests, a functional item that combines the cultural significance of the Maneki-neko with everyday use. The style suggests they are likely modern reproductions, possibly made in Japan, reflecting traditional craftsmanship and artistic motifs. The use of porcelain or ceramic is typical for such decorative and functional items.
