"Say Goodbye to Mass Production: Getting Enchanted by the Handblown Nuances of Fresco, a Glass Studio in Izumi City, Osaka!"
2021.02.27 published
I want to have a special piece of dinnerware.
When I get married, I want to focus on my everyday dinnerware.
Even the same dish can feel special just by using your favorite plate.
I'm also looking for beautiful dinnerware that will make the dining table stylish, but I haven't come across anything that makes me go, "This is it!" yet.
I think brand-name items are nice, but I feel like they might be overpowering in some way.
Artisan pieces can only be obtained if you go to exhibitions.
However, this time, I've come across a brand that interests me.
It's 'fresco,' developed by a glass studio!
The charm of 'fresco' ♡
The dinnerware from 'fresco' features delicate and beautiful colors unique to glass.
The colorful plates and cups with nuanced colors seem to brighten and beautify the dining table.
Since they are handcrafted rather than mass-produced, the thickness and weight feel pleasant too.

The slightly warped, irregular shapes are so endearing...!
Each piece is carefully handmade, so even within the same series, they have different expressions, which is charming.
This plate is perfect for those thinking about welcoming a special piece into their home!
The one I want the most is the usable [kasumi bowl] ♡
Toast with a poached egg and a little salad.
Wouldn't it be super stylish if breakfast looked like this...?
With a plate from 'fresco,' it seems I'd have a wonderful home dining experience!
I would be thrilled if I received it as a wedding gift.
This [kasumi bowl M] costs 6,800 yen.
It's nice that you can purchase it online without having to visit the studio!
The glass cups are also cute!!
I hadn't planned on buying more glasses, but while browsing fresco's website, I suddenly wanted the [solito glass].
Its gently rounded form and the nuanced colors of the glass are very appealing.
I can't help but think how cute it would be to have these cups lined up on the dining table!
The [solito glass] comes in 33 different colors, so choosing can be quite a challenge. (A happy challenge...!)
Each glass is priced at 2,400 yen.
It would also make a great gift for a wedding or as a present for parents.
However, many colors are sold out in the online shop, so if you have a specific color in mind, you'll likely need to attend a pre-order event.
Flower lovers should also check out the vases ♡
It can be hard to choose the right glass vase.
fresco's glass flower vases are stylish with the nuances unique to blown glass.
They enhance not only flowers but also leafy greens too ♡
The [kasumi vase] starts at 4,000 yen.
There are also events to take glass handprints ♡
Although it's not dinnerware, the glass studio hosts events to take handprints in spring and autumn.
I was surprised to learn there are glass handprints; I've never seen that before!
It would make a wonderful growth record ♡
The studio is located in Izumi City, Osaka Prefecture, so those living in the Kansai region should definitely check it out.
I want fresco's dinnerware ♡
I introduced the brand 'fresco,' which is recommended for those searching for a special piece.
The nuanced, hand-blown glass dinnerware seems to add a sense of the extraordinary to home cooking.
Since they are unique, they would also be great for gifts or wedding favors ♡
(If I received one, I would be incredibly happy!)
