Purchased over 14.5 years ago at a gallery in Minami-Aoyama, in front of the Nezu Museum. This single piece was quietly placed in a cabinet in the center of the store. More than the price or explanation, I remember being drawn to its "presence" and purchasing it. The deep turquoise color. The light gathering inside. The organic undulation that seems to react to the outside world. It has a light yet dignified presence. There are fine scratches on the rim due to aging, but they are not strongly visible, and in my subjective opinion, they are beautiful, giving the impression of having accumulated quiet time. Based on its aging, it looks like Japanese glass from the late Edo to early Meiji periods, but it's not. Perhaps it's modern craft glass? I still can't shake the feeling that it might be Japanese. There are scratches on the rim, but more than the aging, I believe the essence of this piece is that it was "a vessel chosen by the space" in the gallery. By a window, on a bookshelf, Combined with small flowers and light. Placed by a window... Enjoy displaying it. You will be healed by the undulation of the blue color. The color, the bubbles, The aged appearance, It is a work with the "beauty of aging." Diameter 4.5cm, Height 5cm Please understand that there may be small, hard-to-see damages, as this is a vintage item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. Decorative glass from around the Showa 30s to 50s (1955-1975) I believe it is postwar Japanese craft glass or imported decorative glass.
