Thank you for viewing. This is a pair of rock glasses, a masterpiece by Mitsuo Sakamoto, the leading figure in the revival of Satsuma Kiriko and a representative master of contemporary Satsuma Kiriko. This is an extremely rare item that is no longer available for purchase. ■ Features of the work The clear, beautiful blue and the gold-red glass, synonymous with Satsuma Kiriko. Based on the hexagonal cage pattern, it is exquisitely cut with hemp leaf patterns and nanako (fish roe) patterns. The brilliance when exposed to light, the sense of weight when held in the hand, and the gradation of colors in the real thing are truly worthy of being called works of art. ■ Condition ・The artist's signature is engraved on the bottom (photo 3). ・There are also marks on the accompanying box and the booklet. ■ Size Diameter: approx. 90mm Height: approx. 76mm ■ Accessories Original box, booklet Mr. Sakamoto's works are very rarely available on the market, and it is rare to find a pair in this condition. How about it as a once-in-a-lifetime encounter, as a collector's item or as a sake vessel for a special anniversary?
