About the Item

Touched by the most talented glassmakers of Japan. Braided for your pleasure. This pair of beach glass style cups are an incredible piece of design from the opaque colour of the green to the subtle braided design of the glass to the clear bottoms. A vessel you would be lucky to have. I have not come across another pair like it. The history of these cups come from Japan, where I had found them at an antique shop close to a neighbouring shrine.. Some 90 minutes or so by subway from Tokyo. Like all my items - they speak to tradition, quality, craftsmanship, history and sense of place. Items that are one of a kind. Holding some sensibility of mystery while also existing as a functional object. Items to enrich your life - to share a story with friends or family. When you own this piece it then becomes a part of your story, the narrative of your own life.
