With Halloween Just Around The Corner,

here is a great way to bring the festivities to the table,


if you use chopsticks,

these ghost chopstick rests bring Halloween to the table, they are handmade by a glass artisan based in Nagano, Japan,

they look so cute!

 they are the work of Masanaga Noike, the proprietor of glass studio naga-no-glass. After studying the craft of glass in Tokyo, Noike worked for a glassmaker in Hokkaido before founding his own studio in Nagano,

the ghost chopstick rests are priced at 3,080 yen, at today's rate £18.40 or $20.55 per boxed pair, they are each individually made by hand, so their bodies and facial expressions vary slightly, which makes them all the more fun, He sells his work through the Japanese craft marketplace minne, You can also follow him on Instagram, and now the bad news, you will have to wait until the next Halloween to use these, they are so popular and they are produced by only one person the number of production is limited, currently shipping is scheduled for December, so too late for this year, but well early for next years festivities!
