  1. I know this !! they are not just any bottle opener they are Oji Masanori bottle openers , made of brass, and quite lovely – Japanese so clever and beautifully simple.

    merry xmas

  2. Do they come with the plate? Otherwise I might have thought they were spaghetti portion measurers, and perhaps a spoon or chopstick rest. But then, what do I know? XXX

  3. I think the objects might be – a bottle opener, a nut cracker & a napkin ring?
    Merry Christmas & a very prosperous 2014 x
