Edo glass, developed in Tokyo, brings another kind of beauty: the clarity and subtle variations of glass shaped by hand. One invites us to look at a painted surface; the other lets us look through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased in Nomi, Ishikawa, Seihodo brings these two traditions together in its Kutani Wa Glass collection. A hand-painted porcelain base supports a hand-blown glass bowl, joining two materials with very different textures and ways of catching the light. It is a way of enjoying Japanese ceramics through a familiar object that can find a place at many different tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, the expressive red bird motif is brought into the intimate scale of a sake glass. The painted base remains visible as the glass is lifted, making the decoration part of the experience of drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe small bowl makes this a glass for modest servings rather than a large pour. The distinction between glass and porcelain remains easy to see, with the clear upper part and decorated foot offering two different views of the same vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour a little chilled sake and set a small dish beside it. The glass leaves room for the drink’s appearance and the porcelain adds another detail to the table. Taking time to look, lift and sip can become a modest ritual, giving an everyday evening a more attentive pace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seihodo","offers":[{"title":"Diameter 52mm × Height 110mm \/ 70ml","offer_id":48289636581547,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8843\/7419\/files\/IMG_6237.jpg?v=1793608126","url":"https:\/\/rakudajapan.com\/ko\/products\/sake-glass-with-red-bird-design","provider":"RAKUDA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
