Due to being handmade, there may be air bubbles on the bottom. This is a new, unused item and is not a scratch. A flower vase created in collaboration with Kimura Glass. The thin, highly transparent glass has a gently tapering form from the base to the opening, and features a pedestal to support the delicate glass. Crafted by artisans in Otaru, a town known for glass crafts, each vase is hand-blown, making it a simple yet crafted flower vase. Size: φ40 x 210mm 【Handling Precautions】 Do not use the product for purposes other than its intended use. Avoid strong impacts and sudden temperature changes, as they may cause cracks, chips, or breakage. If a crack or chip appears, discontinue use for safety reasons. If a crack or chip appears or if the item breaks, be careful not to injure yourself with the fragments. ■ Glass is a "fragile item." Glass can, in rare cases, break suddenly without any impact or temperature change. This is because the internal forces of the glass slowly act on invisible scratches that have formed on the surface, and after some time, it breaks suddenly. When handling any glass product, handle it gently to avoid scratches. ■ Please be aware of the risk of "lens fires." A lens fire (also known as a "convergence fire") is a fire caused by the concentration of sunlight on a flammable material by a transparent object with a convex lens shape or a concave mirror-like reflector. Since several to a dozen cases are seen annually, fire departments also issue warnings about this as a cause of fires. ＜Prevention of Lens Fires＞ It is effective to place objects that can act as lenses or concave mirrors in a place where they are not exposed to direct sunlight, and to close curtains when going out to prevent direct sunlight from entering the room. Glass, the material used for flower vases, can also be a cause of the aforementioned lens fires depending on its placement and shape, so please handle it with care.
