Shell-Shaped Wine Glass Blue

A large earthquake hit North Japan on March 11th, which seriously damaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. But I live far away enough from the focus and the station. I and my shop items are ALL SAFE. Please don't hesitate to purchase!

Layaway for up to 3 months is available! For the detail, please contact me!

This glass has many thorns like a top shell or a venus comb. The bowl is made of two layers of glass: white and blue-green. Many iridescent black lines accent the outside white glass and the inside blue-green glass is silver-dusted. The bowl forks into two and you can see two holes inside it (please see the picture #4).

Black glass runs through the core of the stem.

Iridescence and silver dusts suggest that the artist is fond of showy works but this piece is never gaudy.

This unusual-shaped glass decorates your cabinet. Add it to your collection!

The stemware pieces are among the most hard-to-create items for glass artists and workmen. They pay special attention when they put a stem to a bowl. This piece is made by Kenji Ito, a Japanese glass artist skilled in blown glass. Signed "Kenji" (please see the picture #4).

Condition: New.

Size: Approximately 22cm in height.

Weight: Approximately 530g. A little heavy for a wine glass.

Shipping service: This item is shipped by Japan Post insured EMS (express mail service) with tracking number.

* If you would like more than one pieces, please contact me. I order them from the artist and let you know the estimate shipping date.

A family of mine says that this piece looks like a WOMAN'S HIP. She is nearsighted and couldn't see the thorns at first. According to the artist, it's not a woman's hip but a shell.

But if she puts it that way, maybe it looks like a chubby woman who crosses her legs... In fact it's a SHELL!

What does this glass look like to you?
