‘Gara Gara’ Glass Set

Description

I am a ‘Gara Gara’ Glass Set. I’m the type of collectible that you have now, keep forever and pass down to the grandkids. I’m looking forward to meeting my new family!

Curator’s Notes

This one-of-a-kind set includes a clear container that has a perfectly fitted lid. Within, holds small glasses ideally used as sake glasses, shot cups or teacups. Like the lid, the glasses slot perfectly inside the container showcasing the studio’s masterful craftsmanship. Each glass features a signature black enamel pattern (Carved, Cow, Grid, Big Dots, Lines, Dots and Stripes), that are obtained using various handmade glass techniques such as sandblasting, carving and stenciling. The piece comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by founder Kazumi Tsuji.
