The Rice Straw Trivet is perfect for putting under a hot dish, teapot, kettle, or any hot or cold vessel to protect your surface. Light in weight and simple in design, these trivets protect your surface and is also a beautiful and understated accent to your kitchen. It can hold donabes, any cooking vessels, even teapots and tea kettles. When we are not using it on a surface, we love to hang it on our wall to second as decoration. These trivets are made with rice straw meticulously wrapped around a cardboard cut.
