Silver Flake Long Glass (Michinoku Blue Color)

These glasses are made near the lake Tokurako in Obanazawa, Yamagata, Japan. This glass studio is located in Japanese "snow country" in the North. In Winter when you look outside, it's all silvery-white snow outside and nothing else is visible. The summers are bright and very hot. This beautifully rich scenery and the surrounding nature, serve as the biggest inspiration for these hand-blown pieces. Ito-san hopes to reflect this nature and the kind, thoughtful people of the area in his craft, while preserving the "snow silver" pattern technique, for which he is known.

*these glass pieces are NOT dishwasher safe.
