These are handmade Chinese lacquer chopsticks in solid ebony, with rhino skin lacquer (Xipi, 犀皮漆) on the handles only, from the Yi Series by HFDlacquerware (禾丰鼎). The deep black ebony below balances the flowing color above, and the tips are finished matte for a steady grip on everything from noodles to slippery foods. Available in 10 colors, so each person at the table can pick their own. Each pair is 9.8" (25 cm) long. In the Yi Series (low relief), the groundwork is built low, so the colors move together as flow rather than dramatic relief. Each handle takes nearly a year of layering, natural curing, and water-sanding, 10 to 13 layers in all, so no two pairs carry the same swirls. They make a meaningful gift for newlyweds, parents, or close friends. The simplest happiness is a shared meal with people you love, and the call to come to the table. These are made to be held every day, a quiet reminder of that.
