This bowl sits in my lounge room close to a window, and beguiles me daily.
It is an exceptional piece of glass art, made by artist Tadashi Kudo (1955-). Kudo is known as Nao, and my bowl is signed Glass Nao, the name of her studio.
The bowl has been blown with fine layers of clear, blue, yellow and amber glass and measures 27.5cm in diameter.
Nao has then ground back the layers by hand to form a really wonderful modern style of cameo glass.
It is exciting and captivating, and rates for me as one of my best pieces of Japanese glass.
Wow, that's gorgeous!
Magical!
Wow, that's really BEAUTIFUL Karen!!
Incredibly beautiful bowl Karen, such artistry of design and color. This is what we have been missing, your unparalleled fantastic Japanese glass, LOVE it!
Now this is something different! So beautiful!
Amazing, especially the first image where creatures appear to be rising from the deep! No wonder it beguiles.
Good to have you and your glass back :)
Absolutely gorgeous piece of glass.....
Awesome bowl!

Elisabethan, Inky and Malkey: sorry I missed your posts!
Thanks guys, appreciate your love and comments.
Stunning ! love love
Thanks Mani, it is a star piece amongst my glass. Happy you love it too!
Magical is right! And what a fun piece, I can see how you could stare at it all day if you had the time. Can you feel the texture? It's sort of like Peter Max (or timothy Leary) haha Yellow Submarine style! But on the beautiful side!
Now that is A+++++. Amazing as so many colors dancing together and blending into each other. You can not look at just one design in it, and it just grabs your eyes to mellow into ALL its beauty. Stunning piece !!
It sometimes looks a bit trippy Sue!
You can feel the texture inside where Nao has ground back the layers, and I really like that because it shows the human touch to it.
Thanks Rose! It's a stellar piece in my collection.
I have come so far with Japanese glass, as you know :)
I often can't afford the pieces I would really like Renedijkstra!!
Nah wasn't offended, just saying there's so much more I would like :)
Absolutely beautiful!
, i cant keep my eyes off it , this is such an incredible quality, this is absolutely perfect
Thanks Apostata, will always be one of my best and favourite pieces.
She is an absolute talent, her other work is also different and exceptional.
Eileen you must be as crazy as me because that's what I see too!
I'm happy you have revisited Nao's bowl, I still enjoy it daily.
Nah, not at all.
this is just plane lovely put into a bowl .....sweet...
Thanks Jojo, it’s a special piece.
Every time I see this lovely bowl, I fall in love all over again.
Thanks Raven. I still feel that too :)
Hi Karen!!! I got tears in my eyes when I saw this notification. You have honestly been on my mind so much lately. I just haven't had time to share here and didn't like the fact that I kept coming on and saying I would, then not being able to get back to it but I really really miss being here! Ms Daisy has gone on another journey recently and I've had many things to attend to, let alone the stress of it all. Please know my heart is with everyone here and i will get back. Hopefully sooner than later!!! xoxoxo
