Straight Tumbler Wide White | NIJINOHA Aiko Hiraiwa

The Gentle Glow of Recycled Glass

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

The experience and techniques honed at Ryukyu Glass Workshop Okuhara Glass Manufacturing in Okinawa. Bold yet delicate hand movements, moments of breathing in unison with the flame. The ripples and undulations, created by layering her own sensibilities on the foundation of what she learned as a craftsperson, seem to reflect the delicate beauty of nature, like the gentle breeze in a forest or light dancing on the water's surface.

Rather than being an ostentatious presence, the beauty of these pieces lies in their role as tools that blend into daily life. Each time you hold one, it feels just right, bringing a slight skip to your heart. These are glasses imbued with the beauty of utility, bringing small joys to everyday moments.

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

Due to being handmade one by one, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, weight, thickness, subtle variations in the mold pattern,かすれ (scratches/fading), and small and large bubbles or streaks. Please enjoy these as unique expressions of handmade craftsmanship. We cannot guarantee which specific item you will receive, but we hope you will look forward to its arrival.
