1. Double-Covered Lattice Old Glass (Green-Lapis Lazuli) | Satsuma Vidro
The Double-Covered Lattice Old Glass in Green and Lapis Lazuli is a work of Japanese craftsmanship that layers two colors of crystal glass over clear crystal, creating a striking gradation effect. Using traditional Satsuma Cut Glass techniques from Kagoshima Prefecture, the lattice pattern is cut by hand, producing depth and brilliance as it catches the light.
The interplay of green and deep blue lapis creates a cooling visual effect, evoking natural elements such as water, stone, and foliage. This design reflects harmony and balance, a theme often present in Japanese art.
Presented in a paulownia wood box, the glass is well-suited as a special gift or a collector’s piece. With its refined detail and vivid gradation, this item represents both tradition and contemporary taste, making it equally at home in Japanese and Western settings.
2. Double-Covered Lattice Old Glass (Gold Red-Lapis Lazuli) | Satsuma Vidro
The Double-Covered Lattice Old Glass in Gold Red and Lapis Lazuli brings together vivid crimson tones with deep blue, layered over clear crystal to create a powerful gradation. This color pairing represents energy and strength balanced by calmness, an aesthetic contrast deeply rooted in Japanese symbolism.
Hand-cut using the Satsuma Cut Glass technique, each lattice facet captures and reflects light, creating a jewel-like appearance. The brilliance shifts depending on the viewing angle, giving the glass both functional and decorative appeal.
Packed in a paulownia wood box tied with a traditional Sanada string, it is crafted with the precision and artistry that define Kagoshima’s glassmaking tradition. This piece serves not only as tableware but also as a collector’s item or a meaningful gift.
3. Brown Old Glass | Satsuma Vidro
The Satsuma Brown Old Glass introduces a rare and unique color achieved through feldspar blending. The warm brown hue distinguishes it from more common cut glass colors, giving it a grounded and earthy character.
The entire surface, from top to bottom, is hand-cut in a faceted lattice, enhancing the way light plays across the surface. This results in a warm glow that emphasizes depth and craftsmanship. The brown tone carries cultural associations of stability, warmth, and connection to the natural world.
Packaged in a paulownia wood box, this glass is valued as both an artistic collectible and a thoughtful gift. Its subdued yet luminous tone makes it adaptable for both Japanese and Western interiors.
