Early 20th Century Japanese Braided Blown Glass Cups
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.

- Blown Glass Ewer - Murano - Art Nouveau - Period: Early 20th CenturyLocated in CRÉTEIL, FRBeautiful ewer in white Murano glass, blue and red watermarked, mouth-blown. Until the 17th and 18th centuries, ewers were used to serve drinks. Generally made of gold or silver precious metal, finely sculpted and chased, it takes the form of an elegantly shaped vase, generally taller than it is wide, mounted on a foot, with a spout and handle. Its name comes from the word aigue, meaning water in Old French (as does the locality of Aigues-Mortes). The ewer was widely used throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In the 18th century, it was replaced by the crystal carafe and the earthenware water jug. The water jug was originally designed to serve water on tables. It was also used for washing. Period: Early 20th century Dimensions: Height: 33cm - Width: 16cm Filigree glass is the French translation of the old Venetian term "vetro a filigrana"; this name covers a range of transparent blown glass varieties in which stretched glass threads ("canne") in white or various colors are incorporated. "Latticino" or "Latticinio" is an Italian term that has fallen into disuse and also designates "vetro a filigrana". This generic term covers three different types of decor: "vetro a fili", in which the "canes" form parallel lines; "vetro a retorti...Category
