About the Product
Pairs of elegant glasses nestled in hand-carved adjoining bases are a stylish addition to any home or dining establishment, and make a special gift for a loved one.
Glasses are all hand-blown by artisans in Asahikawa's Arashiyama artist village, and are produced in three patterns: cracked, tornado and bubbles. 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 glassware is popular as tableware in the region's quality hotels, restaurants and izakaya, and are now becoming noticed by private collectors for their stunning artistry.
