About the Product
Beautiful hand-blown glass decanters, set in sturdy bases made of Hokkaido wood.
The glass decanters are all hand-blown by artisans in Asahikawa's Arashiyama artist village, and are produced in two patterns: cracked and tornado. They are set in simple, smooth-to-the-touch wooden bases made from Japanese Pagoda trees, a hard-wood common in Hokkaido's forests.
The 250cc decanters can be used to serve drinks, aerate alcohol, display flowers, or purely decoratively and are light and easy to handle. Already popular with quality dining establishments in Hokkaido, they are now becoming noticed by private collectors for their stunning artistry and functionality.
