This style of vase is so distinctly Japanese; a lot of glass houses made vases like this.
Kurata however made these more, and better, and more beautiful, than most.
This pair date from the 1950s and are carrying the Kurata Patent Extend Process sticker - I have no idea what that process was!
White glass, coated in clear, hot worked, then iridised. These are just a lovely pair.
Larger 24cm
Smaller 17cm
They're lovely,indeed!
When the ice caps are gone we will still have these beauties.....
beauties!!
Oh my gosh, these are incredible vases, simply stunning glass! And the pictures just make them all the more amazing. I bow, I bow. :)
Thank you Ivonne - nice to hear from you! Hope things are going well.
You are right Peggy - they are like ice, or maybe even sweet icing.
Smooch for you Sean.
Katherine -you are making me blush! Good glass makes good photos generally!
Thanks for loving my glass...and being so excited!!
Oh they are just so beautiful, Karen! And the photographs! Wow!
Thanks Karen for your nice words.everything's ok:-)
I've been out for a while and going to have another holiday trip in Sept.

Still blushing Katherine! I've started using a light tent but my camera is still pretty crappy.
Glad to hear that Ivonne. Hope you enjoy your holiday ;)
