Naoko Takenouchi Cameo Glass Vase - Nocturne Series

About the Item

This beautiful cameo glass vase signed by the artist measures 9"h x 6 1/4"d. The two ethereal swimming figures appear to be a woman and a merman. This striking blue and purple vase has a clear round base. The work is signed Naoko T. and “Nocturne Series” on the bottom. The artist is the well-known Japanese/Canadian glass artist Naoko Takenouchi. The vase is in mint condition and a wonderful example of her work. Takenouchi, Naoko (20th C. Japan/Canada) Naoko Takenouchi creates hand-blown glass vessels with ethereal colours and intricate engraved designs usually depicting a visual metaphor or allegory. Naoko blows the vessel, in two transparent colours then etches away to reveal the bottom colour. Through these pieces she conveys her sensitive interpretations of human figures, flowers, trees, animals, birds and other related images. Naoko Takenouchi completed a four-year degree course in design and glassblowing at Tama Art University in Tokyo, while taking time to attend the New York Experimental Glass Workshop. Her work experience continued at the Swedish Center Foundation and in the New-Small & Sterling Glass Studio in Vancouver. She has attended the Pilchuck Glass School as a scholarship student in ’93 and ’98. Takenouchi has exhibited her work worldwide, and her work was included in New Glass Review 16, Contemporary Glass: Color, Light & Form from Guild Publishing, 500 Glass Objects from Lark Books and many other national and international publications. She has received many awards in Canada including the Canada Council “mid-career” grant. In 2002, Takenouchi was invited to be one of the jury members for the Saidy Bronfman Award in Ottawa. Currently, she has been commissioned to make Governor General’s Performing Art’s Awards since 2003.
