These red lacquered bamboo chopsticks feature the Chinese symbol for double happiness. They are doubly lucky since red is considered a very auspicious color in China and double happiness is a symbol that represents happiness and togetherness. Both the color red and the symbol for double happiness are prominent during Chinese New Year. Chopsticks are 9" long and should be handwashed only.

Chopsticks have long been a tradition in Asia, dating back thousands of years. Chopsticks are traditionally held in the right hand between the thumb and fingers. It is generally considered poor etiquette to gesture with chopsticks, move around dishes, or pierce food. Chopsticks should also not be left sticking straight up in a bowl of rice or other food as this resembles incense sticks used as offerings to deceased family members.
