Toothpick Holder

Small pieces keep a table in order. This category has white Wilmax England porcelain toothpick holders and a chopstick rest – items that sit beside the main tableware, at home or in a restaurant, and are easy to overlook until they are missing.

Toothpick holders

• Tall holder, 8.2 cm – a slim shape, 3.3 cm wide, that makes it easy to take one toothpick without spilling the rest.
• Square holder, 4 x 5 cm – a heavy base that does not tip when you take one out, and a closed shape that keeps the toothpicks tidy.

Chopstick rest

A 6.7 cm porcelain rest, 2 cm high, keeps chopsticks off the table and the sushi setting tidy. A groove stops them rolling away. Put one at each place next to a soy sauce dish.

Material and care

All three are white porcelain and, according to the product pages, dishwasher safe. Plain white fits any service, so they can be added to tableware you already own.

Where they are used

A toothpick holder belongs on the table with olives, cheese and canapés, or on a restaurant counter. The chopstick rest completes a table for sushi and other Asian dishes.

What goes with them

See soy sauce dishes, salt and pepper shakers or all table accessories.
