A set of seven vintage ceramic knife rests, featuring a distinctive black and yellow design typical of the 1950s-1960s. Each knife rest takes the shape of a small elongated block with softened edges, glazed in a deep, shiny black. At one end, a rounded hollow, glazed in bright lemon yellow, accommodates the blade of the knife. The stark contrast between the two colors gives these small objects a graphic and modern look. The knife rest is a typically French accessory that allowed one to place their knife between two dishes without staining the tablecloth. Once common on tables of the past, it now delights collectors and tableware enthusiasts. Whether on an everyday table or a festive one, these accessories will add a touch of color and whimsy. Overall in good condition with some small irregularities in the glaze and slight chipping on the edges of some pieces.
