Kutani Magnetic Pin Holder, Ishidatami Tiles

A place for every pin—and a beautiful one at that. This magnetic pin holder pairs the intricate decoration of Japanese Kutani ware with a clever tool you'll use every time you sit down to sew.

A powerful magnet is concealed inside the porcelain cup, attracting pins, needles, stitch markers, and other small metal notions to both the inside and outside surface. Keep it beside your sewing machine or handwork project, or pass it gently over your work area to quickly gather up stray pins. A soft felt lining inside helps protect sharp points.

The colorful Ishidatami design takes its name from traditional Japanese stone paving. Small geometric forms repeat across the surface like neatly laid paving stones, creating an intricate pattern in blue, turquoise, yellow, red, and white. This centuries-old motif found in Kutani ware has also been associated with wishes for continuing prosperity—a fitting bit of meaning for a useful object made to be enjoyed for years.

Small enough to tuck into your sewing space without taking up much room, it's useful for more than pins and needles. Let the magnet corral metal stitch markers, safety pins, paper clips, and other tiny notions that are otherwise easy to misplace.
