Beer Glass – Hexagonal/Wide

These glasses are made near the lake Tokurako in Obanazawa, Yamagata, Japan. This glass studio is located in Japanese “snow country” in the North – in winter when you look outside, it’s all silvery-white snow outside, and nothing else is visible.  The summers are bright and very hot. This beautifully rich scenery, and the surrounding nature, inspire the craftsman. Ito-san hopes to reflect this nature and the kind, thoughtful people of the area in his art pieces, while preserving the “snow silver” pattern technique, for which he is known, in his hand-blown glass.

These glasses were designed to fit an entire 12oz can of beer.  The blue glass has silver flecks and swirls of gold color throughout.  The base is a wide hexagon, transitioning up to a round shape with a slight flair at the top.
