Early Christmas sale! ¥38,000 → Many glass artists in Japan "steal" (i.e., learn) the techniques of Venetian glass and create their own works, but please, by all means, hold the real thing in your hands. You'll be amazed by the quality. This item is a Venetian glass bowl made on Murano Island. It has a diameter of about 13-13.5cm, a height of about 5cm, and is a small bowl with very cute frills. It is unused and a vintage item kept in a cabinet. It was purchased at a specialty store called Chisa in Kita-Sando for ¥58,000. This is a lace glass bowl characteristic of the "Ballarin Workshop," a long-established Murano glass workshop with a 600-year history, and is a smaller bowl that complements the large bowl currently on display. Using the Zanfirico technique, which is also called the highest peak of Venetian glass, and the hand-blown glass method, this is a carefully crafted work finished as a bowl. Like Meissen and Royal Copenhagen, Venetian glass has first-class and second-class products, but this item is, of course, a high-quality first-class product. Founded in 1483, this workshop is one of the few Murano glass workshops to be awarded an emblem by the Venetian Republic government for its contribution to the development of glass crafts. Many artists in Japan "steal" (i.e., learn) the techniques of Venetian glass and create their own works, but please, by all means, hold the real thing in your hands. You'll be amazed by the fineness of the work and the difference in quality.
