The MAYU series from Glass Studio Izumo is a collection of hand-blown glass vases available in Blue, Green, and Brown. Each vase has a smooth, organic shape that tapers into a narrow opening, giving it a cocoon-like silhouette. The glass surface reveals subtle layers of color that shift gently with the light, enhancing the vase’s sculptural presence.
These vases are individually crafted in Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, a region known for its deep natural beauty and long tradition of artisanship. The blown glass process gives each piece small variations in shape, tone, and layering, making no two exactly alike. Even without flowers, the form itself works as a modern decorative object. When used for floral arrangements, the narrow mouth supports stems upright, allowing for minimal yet striking displays.
The color variants each offer a distinct mood:
- MAYU Blue: Cool and serene, with layered blue tones that evoke water and sky.
- MAYU Green: Fresh and natural, with soft green gradients that blend well with foliage.
- MAYU Brown: Warm and grounded, with earthy tones that suit autumn or neutral interiors.
Their balanced size makes them versatile for placement on dining tables, shelves, or entryways. As a gift, they are suited for weddings, anniversaries, and housewarmings, or simply as a thoughtful piece for someone who appreciates handcrafted design. While visually delicate, these are not heat-resistant glass and should be handled with care.
