Strikingly beautiful
This beautiful glass seems to capture a serene lakeside scene.
The gradation, shifting from a pale blue to an amber, evokes the lake's surface reflecting the sky and its depths.
The bubbles sprinkled within the glass resemble light shimmering in the water or ripples on the surface.
The soft undulations unique to blown glass
and the bubbles trapped within the glass
change with the light and viewing angle, revealing a variety of expressions.
Since the gradient colors and
the way the bubbles are formed are all different,
you can enjoy a unique sense of individuality.
With a height of approximately 10cm, this glass is perfectly sized for highballs with plenty of ice, shochu with water, or sparkling water.
The subtle constriction in the middle ensures a comfortable grip, reflecting a design that prioritizes both aesthetics and usability.
Enjoy a moment of tranquility at the end of your day, listening to the gentle clink of ice.

"The various color combinations and bubble patterns are only possible because of the free-blowing process. The glass melted in a small furnace contains tiny air bubbles, and the marks of the tools used to shape it remain as traces, giving it a unique character."
Maki Nakamura of Maki Glass Studio is a Kyoto-based craftsman who creates tableware for everyday use and glass for architectural spaces.
During his high school years, he was impressed by the works of glass object artist Shibuya Ryoji and aspired to become a glass artist, but at the time there were no universities in the Kansai region where one could study glass, so he majored in ceramics in the craft department at university.
Later, just before graduating from university, he learned that there was a glass vocational school in Toyama, and his desire to study glass was rekindled.After graduating from university, he studied glasswork creation at the Toyama Glass Art Institute's Department of Design, and honed his skills at the Toyama Glass Studio.
Nakamura, who entered the world of glass from art, has a thorough understanding of the material, and his works express the beauty of freshness and softness by making the most of it, while also providing comfort to the user as tableware, and the well-thought-out shapes are also excellent.
Nakamura's glass works add a touch of elegance to your dining table, even adding a touch of color to the shadows.
Please hold it up to the light and enjoy it.
