2020.06.03 published
A Wonderful and Mysterious Glass.
Let me introduce you to a glass I fell in love with at first sight ♡
This is the polygonal pillar glass from "Yoshinuma Glass," a glass workshop with over 100 years of history located in Asakusa.
<Here>
At a glance, it is a thin glass in the shape of a hexagon.
The design is of course beautiful, but the product name "polygonal pillar glass" also has a curious feeling that makes you say, "Huh??"
Its unique and beautiful appearance made me instantly think, "If I could freely choose wedding favors, I would absolutely want to give this as a gift!"
And if I received it, it would definitely be a treasured item for life ♡
In this article, I will introduce the charm of Yoshinuma Glass's polygonal pillar glass*
It was also featured in Tokyocalendar and chosen for The Wonder500*
The polygonal pillar glass is shaped like a hexagon, but the charm lies in the fact that it is not a regular hexagon.
Take a close look*
The six sides each have different lengths.
On the official website, it is described as follows:
“Every irregularity creates discontinuous changes, making it look like a crystal created by nature. By slightly distorting the pillar glass we know, this glass provides a new experience not only visually, but also in terms of texture and drinking feel.”
It truly is♡
Indeed.
The experience of how much and how quickly you drink changes depending on where you touch your lips, making the ordinary slightly random, which is fascinating to imagine.
Isn't it amazing to have a glass that brings excitement, anticipation, and surprises to a life that might feel tiresome with the same daily routine?
I feel once again that "distortions" and "irregularities" bring richness to life....!
Also, the bottom of the glass has color trapped in it, and when you pour a drink, the color reflects and gently rises up, creating a beautiful effect.
It’s like a symphony of water and light, leaving one enchanted. There are four colors available: clear, blue, pink, and yellow*
This glass is one of the famous products from Yoshinuma Glass, which has been around for 100 years.
In the past, it has been featured in Tokyo Calendar magazine and praised as a lovely vase in the flower magazine "Florist."
In 2015, it was showcased at PARIS DESIGN WEEK and was selected for The Wonder500 as a "superior regional product that Japan should be proud of," introduced to the world by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
This glass is a representation of the "Japan-made romance" that strives for ideals and promotes itself worldwide♡
What is the price?
The price of the polygonal pillar glass varies by size:
Large: 2,800 yen (excluding tax)
Medium: 2,700 yen (excluding tax)
Small: 2,600 yen (excluding tax)
It’s a perfect price range for gifts and wedding favors, isn't it?
Having them in different sizes is sure to be lovely.
For wedding favors, celebrations, and gifts♡
This is an item I want you to remember when selecting a special gift ♡
