Ishii was a pioneer who infused Western glass crafts with a uniquely Japanese sensibility. He continues to fascinate collectors worldwide with his works that utilize a unique inclusion technique to trap colors and motifs within the glass, expressing the transparency and sense of suspension evocative of the deep sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe greatest appeal of this piece lies in its fantastical design, reminiscent of a jellyfish—Ishii's signature motif. Within the frosted, matte glass surface, gold leaf and colored glass particles are trapped like a life form drifting in the water. When light hits them, they reveal a delicate and brilliant expression evocative of tentacles glowing within a body. The curves formed by thin white glass lines resemble the trajectory of life emerging from the darkness of the deep sea, and combined with the soft texture unique to hand-blown glass, they create a depth that is truly one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eKoji Ishii is widely recognized for revolutionizing the Japanese packaging design industry with his 1985 silhouette bottle design for Sanwa Shurui's Iichiko, but his true value resides in his one-of-a-kind artistic creations. His works are housed in major museums both in Japan and abroad, including the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and the Aomori Museum of Art. It is not uncommon for even small pieces to be valued around 80,000 yen, while his medium-to-large masterpieces often exceed 1 million yen. Since his sudden passing in 1996 at the age of 50, no new works have been produced, making a stately, large-scale beer mug like this one an extremely rare find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe tall, dignified form, the substantial construction with a weighted base, and the meticulous finish of the rim all convey the artist's advanced skill and passion.

Preserved in excellent condition and accompanied by its exclusive box, this masterpiece is a fitting embodiment of the madness and passion of a century ago that Antique Liquor 1926 seeks to recreate on modern tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eProduced by: Ishii Glass Studio Co., Ltd.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eAuthor: Koji Ishii\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eThe artist's notable activities include: [1979] His work was exhibited at \"Japan New Face II\" and purchased by Her Imperial Highness Princess Chichibu; [1985] He designed the silhouette bottle for Sanwa Shurui's \"Iichiko\" and won a special prize at the Japan Package Design Competition; [1985] He won a special prize at the \"Seibu Crafts Grand Prize Exhibition\"; [1994] Held the exhibition \"Symphony of Light and Wind: GLASS Ishii Koji\" at the Narukawa Museum of Art in Hakone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eMajor collections:\u003c\/span\u003e The National Museum of \u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eModern Art, Tokyo,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eAomori Museum of Art,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eChiba Prefectural Museum of Art,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eToyama Glass Art Museum,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eHida Takayama Museum of Art (Hida Takayama),\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eNarukawa Art Museum (Hakone-Lake Ashi)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eProduction period: 1980s-1990s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eCondition: Very good (no chips or cracks)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eAccessories: Dedicated box included\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eMaterial: hand-blown\u003c\/span\u003e glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003eDimensions: height 22cm, diameter 10.5cm\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"151\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\"\u003ePlease note: Even if the products we offer are brand new and unused, they are very old and are listed as second-hand items.

To express these three forms of \"shuku\" (celebration), Hisatoshi specially designed this piece using three colors: the pure white symbolizing Hakuju, the luxurious gold telling of the half-century bond of the Golden Wedding Anniversary, and the red conveying the vitality of Kiju, thereby encapsulating Japanese culture and history within this small vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"27\"\u003eThe reason Hisatoshi Iwata's work is internationally acclaimed is due to his exceptional sense of color and the vitality of the material itself, brought out by the \"sora-fuki\" (free-blowing) technique, which involves shaping the glass in the air without a mold. In this work, the expression created by the fine gold particles and the diagonal red flowing patterns is powerful, as if capturing flames and passion, and the beautiful tapering form towards the base fits surprisingly comfortably in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"28\"\u003eHaving served as the founding president of the Japan Glass Art Association and received the Minister of Education Award at Nitten and the Japan Art Academy Prize, Hisatoshi reigned supreme in the postwar Japanese craft world.

This sake cup, carefully passed down along with its original wooden box (tomobako) bearing his signature and seal, is a crystallization of the \"Japanese beauty\" he pursued until the end.

It is an extremely rare piece that demonstrates the depth of the artist's exploration, beautifully fusing the disparate materials and techniques of metalwork and glass craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eBorn in 1952, Kitamura Shinichi is a metal artist who was certified in 2019 as a Preserver of the Important Intangible Cultural Property of Wax-mold Casting. This vessel is an exquisite creation utilizing those traditional techniques. Because silver, which is a metal, and glass have vastly different melting points and thermal expansion coefficients, the task of completely integrating the two requires extremely advanced skill to overcome the risk of bursting or cracking from thermal shock. This work features an ingenious structure that overcomes this challenge by blowing glass into a silver framework shaped like a tree. The silver ornamentation is characterized by an organic texture with numerous perforations and a form resembling a powerful, undulating tree trunk, creating a fantastical beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThis piece is presumed to be an ambitious work from around the year 2000 (Heisei 12), a period of maturity in Kitamura's creative career during which he pursued the ultimate in technical fusion and decorativeness. The silver portion features a delicate design reminiscent of extending branches and leaves, evoking both the vitality of nature and a sense of tranquil beauty. When a drink is poured, light reflects through the intricate gaps in the silver, emitting a quiet radiance unlike any other.

Even after his passing in 1996, he continues to receive enthusiastic praise from collectors around the world. This work, a Hand-blown Glass Gold-decorated Sake Cup, embodies the refined aesthetics of Ishii's prime from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, making it truly worthy of being called a masterpiece for the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe greatest appeal of Ishii's work lies in the tranquil and elegant texture of the frosted finish, evocative of the harsh winters of northern Japan. The lavish gold decoration that adorns the matte glass surface is more than just a superficial ornament; by contrasting it with the frosted texture, it exudes a profound brilliance that changes its expression depending on the angle of the light. Of particular note is the Musubi (knot) motif around the midsection. In Japanese culture, knots are considered sacred symbols that connect people and hearts. Expressing this in glass, which begins to harden the instant it is removed from the heat, requires extremely advanced craftsmanship. The way the glass curves, like unwavering brushstrokes, embrace the gold work is a true embodiment of Ishii's pursuit of the Japanese aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eFurthermore, the structure of a stemmed sake cup like this one is among the most difficult shapes to create in the field of glass art.

Completing such a piece requires extraordinary concentration and skilled technique. Ishii's signature engraved on the bottom is proof that it is an authentic work that has overcome this rigorous process and passed strict inspection. This sake cup, which has been carefully preserved along with its original box, goes beyond its function as a simple drinking vessel, conveying the passion and creative intensity that Koji Ishii poured into his glass every time it rests in the owner's hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eProduced by: Ishii Glass Studio Co., Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eArtist: Koji Ishii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eNotable Activities: [1979] Work exhibited at Japan New Face II and purchased by Her Imperial Highness Princess Chichibu; [1985] Designed the silhouette bottle for Sanwa Shurui's Iichiko and won a special prize at the Japan Package Design Competition; [1985] Won a special prize at the Seibu Crafts Grand Prize Exhibition; [1994] Held the solo exhibition Symphony of Light and Wind: GLASS Koji Ishii at the Narukawa Museum of Art in Hakone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eMajor Collections: The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Aomori Museum of Art; Chiba Prefectural Museum of Art; Toyama Glass Art Museum; Hida Takayama Museum of Art; Narukawa Art Museum (Hakone-Lake Ashi).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eProduction Era: Late 1980s to mid-1990s (estimated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eCondition: Very good (no chips or cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eAccessories: Original box and informational brochure included Material: Hand-blown glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eDimensions: Height approx. 10cm, Diameter approx. 6cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003ePlease note: Even if the products we offer are brand new and unused, they are vintage items from an older production era and are listed as second-hand.

Since the 1980s, Fujita has garnered extensive acclaim, receiving numerous prestigious honors including the Chiba Prefectural Exhibition Prize, the Bridgestone Museum of Art Prize at the 1996 Japan Glass Exhibition, and the Gold Medal—the highest honor—at the 2001 International Exhibition of Glass Kanazawa. His illustrious career is reflected in the inclusion of his works in the permanent collections of major domestic institutions such as the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and the Yokohama Museum of Art, as well as renowned international venues including the Ebeltoft Glass Museum in Denmark, the mudac (Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the São Paulo Museum of Art in Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThis hand-blown glass sake cup, measuring approximately 8.7 cm in diameter and 6 cm in height, was produced during Fujita’s highly productive period between 1995 and 1996. Its generous proportions represent a perfect harmony between functional utility and aesthetic splendor. Utilizing his signature hand-blowing technique, Fujita masterfully draws out the soft texture and fluid contours inherent to glass. A band of noble, radiant gold leaf is applied across the center, while the vibrant blue accent at the base provides a stunning contrast to the clear glass, evoking a sense of cool serenity and profound dignity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe technical brilliance of this piece lies in the artist's exceptional heat management, which allows glass and gold leaf—materials with vastly different thermal expansion coefficients—to be fused at the molecular level in a molten state exceeding 1,200°C. In hand-blown glass, any sudden temperature drop during the shaping process can cause the gold leaf to peel or induce internal structural tension; therefore, precise temperature programming in the annealing furnace is paramount. The flawless adhesion and brilliance of the gold leaf in this work testify to the perfection of this execution. Artistically, the ponte process used to join the colored base with the clear upper body achieves a sophisticated balance between deliberate intent and natural spontaneity, minimizing distortion while preserving the organic fluctuations of hand-blown glass. The gold leaf is not merely a surface adornment; it is strategically positioned to create multiple internal reflections as light penetrates the glass, bounces off the gold, and passes back through the vessel. This calculated interplay enables the coexistence of a heavy metallic luster and airy transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003ePresented in its original signed wooden box (tomobako) featuring the artist's signature and seal, and accompanied by a chronicle of his career, this piece is a complete and pristine example of Fujita’s artistry. His aesthetic has gained significant global recognition, including being featured in the scholarly journals of the Corning Museum of Glass in the United States. The acquisition of his work by the Japan Foundation and major museums worldwide is a tribute not only to its visual beauty but to its status as a symbol of the structural and technical perfection achieved by Japanese glass art at the close of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: Jun Fujita (b. 1951)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotable Achievements: [1988] Chiba Prefectural Exhibition Prize, [1996] Bridgestone Museum of Art Prize at the '96 Japan Glass Exhibition, [1999] Silver Award at the Japanese Contemporary Glass Exhibition in Notojima, [2001] Gold Award at the International Glass Exhibition Kanazawa\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublic Collections: The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e (MOMAT), \u003c\/span\u003eThe Japan Foundation, Yokohama Museum of Art, Glasmuseet Ebeltoft\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e (Denmark), \u003c\/span\u003emudac - Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e (Lausanne, Switzerland) \/, \u003c\/span\u003eSão Paulo Museum of Art\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e (MASP \/ Brazil),\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003eand others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate of Production: 1995–2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Excellent (No chips or cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: Original signed wooden box, artist's chronicle (shiori)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Hand-blown glass, gold leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Diameter 8.7 cm, Height 6.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotice: While this item is in unused condition, it is a vintage piece produced many years ago and is therefore listed as second-hand.

Building upon the traditions of Iwata Koge Glass, founded by his father Toshichi Iwata, he pursued a refined aesthetic that has garnered significant international acclaim.

Born in 1961, Yonehara majored in glass art at Tama Art University before honing his craft over many years at the studio of the world-renowned master Kyohei Fujita. Yonehara is a true doyen of contemporary glass, having established a stellar reputation both domestically and internationally, notably as the recipient of the 1st Kyohei Fujita Award from the Japan Glass Art Crafts Association and a silver prize at the International Glass Exhibition, Kanazawa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eThe most remarkable design feature of this work is the wrapped thread fiber pattern (line drawing) that delicately veils the surface. This effect is achieved through an advanced hot-work technique, where the artist skillfully manipulates molten glass to wrap fine threads at precise, equal intervals, intentionally sealing the pattern within the vessel. The refraction of light through the glass layers causes these encased fibers to intersect in a complex dance, creating a profound visual depth. This symbolizes the architectural and precise aesthetic Yonehara has pursued for decades, resulting in a level of perfection that transcends the functional to become a sculpture of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eThe most striking structural characteristic is the tripod form, reminiscent of the \"Ding,\" an ancient Chinese bronze vessel. The process of attaching three legs to a thinly and elegantly blown bowl while the glass is still incandescent requires a flawless sense of balance and masterful temperature control, allowing for no margin of error. The vessel's presence, appearing to hover slightly above the table, imparts a sense of prestige not found in ordinary glassware. It stands as an impeccably dignified vessel for enjoying aged sake or long-matured spirits, offering a sensory experience of the highest caliber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eHoused in major museums across the globe, Yonehara’s creations are one-of-a-kind art pieces that seamlessly blend a modern sensibility suited for contemporary living with the sublime techniques of traditional hand-blown glass.

This work is a masterpiece where Sakata's theme of the fusion of pottery and glass, which he pursued energetically in the 1990s, is beautifully realized through its sculptural beauty and superb technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe most astonishing feature of this work lies in the structure of its vivid red stem, which immediately captures the eye. This is not merely a solid block of red glass, but rather employs an advanced technique similar to filigrana—a traditional Venetian glass art form—where numerous extremely thin red glass rods are bundled together and twisted into shape. The texture created by this aggregation of countless lines is Sakata's expression in glass of the powerful, rhythmic Shinjinmon (Deeply Subtle Pattern) that he established in his black pottery works. When illuminated, the red lines intersect in multiple layers, emitting a complex and profound brilliance impossible with a single color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eIn contrast, the transparent bowl features the ice glass technique, with beautiful cracks spreading across its entire surface. This technique involves momentarily dipping hot blown glass into cold water to create fine cracks on the surface, then reheating and shaping it to produce a unique, ice-like texture. This serendipitous texture causes the irregularly placed gold leaf, known as Haku-ha-hari (foil-leaf glass), to diffusely reflect light, creating a fantastical prism when liquid is poured into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eFurthermore, the overwhelming scale of approximately 21 cm in height and 12 cm in rim diameter is exceptionally large for a hand-blown glass wine glass. To fire a work of this size with perfect control over cracks and distortions while maintaining a refined symmetry requires masterful control of fire and a profound understanding of gravity, truly demonstrating the artist's extraordinary skill. The handwritten signatures of Jin and Jinnai Sakata on only one of the two pieces serve as a testament to the artist's pride, indicating that these two pieces constitute a complete set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eStarting from orthodox pottery under the tutelage of the legendary potter Shoji Kamoda, Sakata boldly incorporated diverse materials such as glass and gold leaf, establishing craft as contemporary art. His glass works from the 1990s, in particular, document an important transitional period that led to his later dedications to Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine) and Izumo Taisha (Izumo Grand Shrine). Glass works created by potters possess a unique blend of earthy strength and decorative beauty not found in works by dedicated glass artists, and their presence in the market is extremely limited.

Shinjinmon originally refers to deep and mystical patterns created in pottery by rope patterns or imprints. In this work, however, it is redefined as a multi-layered and profound visual effect through the intricate crazing intentionally applied to the transparent glass layer, the meticulously placed gold leaf in the cracks, and the emerald-like green luminescence that changes with the viewing angle. This green luminescence is a result of advanced coloring techniques that utilize specific metal oxides and light interference, giving it a jewel-like depth that transcends simple coloring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eA notable sculptural aspect is the swing structure, achieved by making the bottom thick and round, allowing it to sway like a roly-poly toy without ever toppling over.
