Due to the handmade nature, there are bubble-like inclusions on the bottom. This is not a scratch, and the item is unused and new. This flower vase was created in collaboration with Kimura Glass Co., Ltd. Made of thin, highly transparent glass, it features a form that gently tapers from the base to the opening, supported by a pedestal that holds the delicate glass. Each vase is hand-blown by artisans in Otaru, a town renowned for its glass craftsmanship. It is a simple yet sophisticated flower vase that embodies craftsmanship. Size: φ40×210mm [Precautions for Handling] Please do not use this product for any purpose other than its intended use. Avoid strong impacts and sudden temperature changes, as they can cause cracks, chips, or breakage. If cracks or chips appear, please discontinue use for safety. If cracks or chips appear or if the product breaks, please be very careful to avoid injury from the broken pieces. ■Glass is a fragile material. Glass can, very rarely, break suddenly without any impact or temperature change. This occurs when internal stresses in the glass slowly act upon invisible scratches that have accumulated on the surface over time, leading to sudden breakage after a period. Please handle all glass products gently to avoid scratching them. ■Beware of solar convergence fires. Solar convergence fire (shūren kasai) is a fire caused by sunlight concentrated to a single point by a transparent object acting as a convex lens or a concave mirror, which then ignites flammable materials. As several to a dozen cases are reported annually, fire departments issue warnings about this cause of fire. <Prevention of Solar Convergence Fires> It is effective to place objects that could act as lenses or concave mirrors in locations away from direct sunlight, and to close curtains when you are out to prevent direct sunlight from entering the room. Glass, the material used for this vase, can also cause solar convergence fires depending on its placement and shape. Therefore, please handle it with great care.
