Ryukyu Inamine Glass revives discarded glass bottles, using human hands in a rough, simple manner, and embracing the naturally occurring colors. The texture has a warmth reminiscent of pottery, especially with the "bubble glass" technique, which enhances this feeling. They are constantly exploring new techniques and pursuing the sculptural possibilities of glass. Meeting their craftsmanship and unique sensibility, the glass born from discarded bottles is brought to a beauty they never possessed before, almost appearing bewildered. (From the workshop) Thank you for viewing. This product is made by reviving beautiful glasses from discarded bottles, such as Awamori bottles. This one is characterized by a crack pattern, resembling the coral reefs of the Okinawan sea. When you visit this workshop, you'll see many discarded bottles piled up, waiting to be reborn as glasses. I felt it was wonderful for both the glass and us that there's something beyond just consumption. Although it's new and unused, I'm offering it here. Please note that it is not heat-resistant glass. Also, because it is handmade, each piece has its own unique character. (The shape and pattern will vary for each piece) *We apologize, but we cannot negotiate the price for this item. #RyukyuGlass #RyukyuInamineGlass #SorafukiGlassKoboNiji #MoriyoshiInamine
