This is a set of 4 white porcelain cutlery holders, knife rests or knife holders in a wonderful traditional design of sections of bamboo.

The knife rests measure 2.75 inches long by .65 inches high by .75 inch wide and are in very good +++ used vintage condition with no chips or cracks. There are a couple of mineral specks from firing..

A great item of kitchenalia as well as a wonderful way to keep your table cloth clean by supporting your knife. 

Knife rests are enjoying a renaissance for use on dining tables, tea tables...I have even supplied knife rests for use at sommelier tables!
