    I have mentioned before that Japanese glass design has been greatly influenced by their ceramic history and I think this vase really demonstrates that.

    If you didn't know this was glass you could easily believe it to be a red glazed pottery vase with black and gold accents. The shape of the vessel and the finishing style are really quite traditional.

    This vase is part of what I call Iwata's calligraphy series, a whole range of glass objects made with this calligraphic black and gold on a plain base.
    However the other glass in this style is white, often pulegoso, and this is the only one I have seen in this rich red.

    The red glass is not bubbled but is quite opaque and light barely shows through it.
    It has been clear cased but the case is surprisingly thin for Iwata.
    Height 28cm

    I will note in comments the link to my other calligraphy vases.

      This is so handsome, Karen. Can't you just see it in a minimalist room - white/grey/black and this the sole splash of colour!

      Ta Kevin, glad it hit your g(lass) spot!

      Rose I never even got the Christmas association, but yeah, spot on! Thanks.

      Truer than you may know Peggy. These large vases are made to be placed in a Japanese room as a focal point. Thanks for the insight! Clever thing!

      Wow Katherine. I get the feeling you are wowed! Thanks for the excitement.

      The black Inky lines are for you Inky......

      I thought this would appeal to your Asian bent Mike. Thanks mate!

      Scott you are always so positive and happy, and that makes us all feel good. Thank you!!

      Yup Peggy - you know more than you think.

      Thanks Rick. I agree the red lifts the design well!
