I have always loved the form of goldfish bowls and have handled them, but those made overseas were fragile and lacked a Japanese aesthetic. I had always wanted to commission a Japanese glass studio.
Then, through a certain encounter, I was introduced to a blown glass studio in Shiga, and I asked them to create this piece.
However, due to my lack of knowledge, I caused them a lot of trouble. Making a goldfish bowl using the free-blowing technique (production method) is extremely difficult, and they worked through many hardships to create it.
As a result, the shape, color, and thickness are all perfect.
This goldfish bowl is designed to fit into any home and suits modern Japan.
By incorporating bubbles at the bottom, the design creates a large, undulating effect when water is added.
This is handmade glass.
It may contain streaks, unintentional bubbles, white residue from glass melting, or pontil marks, but these are all characteristics of a one-of-a-kind handmade craft.
Anyone who holds this piece will undoubtedly be satisfied.
