This is a beautiful vase and single-flower vase from Joetsu Crystal Glass, Tsukiyonokobo. The vivid and striking colors of clear and grape, along with the beautiful gradation, are captivating. The characteristic crystal of the glass material exquisitely blends a radiant, voluminous feel with a strong presence. It also stands out as a modern object and interior decoration. This beautiful design of clear and grape is reminiscent of the traditional Venetian Murano island technique, SOMMERSO. SOMMERSO, meaning "submerged" in Italian, is characterized by layers of contrasting colors. It is a traditional technique passed down through generations of Venetian Murano glass artisans. This is a work of high artistic value, handcrafted with high skill and quality cultivated through tradition. Tsukiyonokobo is the brand name of Joetsu Crystal Glass. It has earned high praise for its high-quality handmade glass crafts, intricate decorations, transparency and color expression, and the expressiveness of blown glass and overlay glass, while maintaining traditional techniques and pursuing beauty. However, in 2023, the company ceased operations and went out of business due to factors such as declining performance caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In that respect, this piece can be considered a valuable rare item.
