Hitchy Glass M Asagi | Nijinoha Aiko Hiraiwa

The soft glow created by recycled glass

Recycled glass is made from materials such as old bottles and windowpanes. Used sake bottles are carefully washed, labels are removed, and then melted in a furnace. Each piece, crafted using the blown glass technique, is reborn into a vessel that emanates a soft, gentle glow and a sense of warmth.

The experience and skills honed at Okuhara Glass Manufacturing, a Ryukyu glass workshop in Okinawa. Bold yet delicate hand movements, moments of breathing with the flame. The ripples and undulations, crafted by layering her own sensibilities based on what she learned as an artisan, reflect the delicate beauty of nature, like a gentle breeze in the forest or light dancing on the water's surface.

Rather than being flashy, the focus is on the beauty of an object that fits into daily life. It feels comfortable in your hand every time you pick it up, and brings a little joy. This is a glass where the beauty of utility lives, bringing small joys to your everyday moments.

The changing light and shadow in daily life. Depending on the intensity and angle of the light, the glass shimmers softly, revealing various expressions. Its simple and timeless design adds a gentle touch of color to your unchanging dining table, bringing a sense of peace that gently envelops your heart.

Please enjoy these as unique characteristics of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival.
