These hand-woven Artisan Straw Trivets bring rustic warmth to your dinner service and serve as unsung heroes for counters and tables. Crafted from leftover rice straw after harvest, these tightly woven trivets add old-world charm to your meals. Made by rice farmers from Sado Island during the off-season using traditional weaving techniques passed down for centuries, they offer durability and elegance.
Unlike similar rush grass trivets, these Sado Island straw trivets provide cushioning and stability, gently supporting heavy cookware like a cushion. Available in 3 sizes, they can support anything from teapots to hotpots. Slight variations in size may occur due to their handmade nature. Each trivet features a convenient loop for easy hanging, serving as both a functional and decorative piece that reflects the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Sado Island in Niigata, Japan.
As they age, the trivets deepen into a rich brown color, and even scorch marks from hot pots add character, telling the story of many meals shared. Enjoy how these Artisan Straw Trivets evolve with time.
