Silver Flow Wadatsumi/Sea of God

Product Description Detailed Specs Measurements These glasses are made near the lake Tokurako in Obanazawa, Yamagata, Japan. This glass studio is located in Japanese "snow country" in the North - in winter when you look outside, it's all silvery-white snow outside, and nothing else is visible. The summers are bright and very hot. This beautifully rich scenery, and the surrounding nature, inspire the craftsman. Ito-san hopes to reflect this nature and the kind, thoughtful people of the area in his art pieces, while preserving the "snow silver" pattern technique, for which he is known, in his hand-blown glass. Named for Wadatsumi, the sea god of Japanese myth, this sculptural piece is shaped like a seashell, with folded, wave-like ridges in pale blue glass shot through with silver and hints of gold. *these glass pieces are NOT dishwasher safe.
