Sugahara – DUO : Tokkuri Glass – Clear

Description:
The master artisans at Sugahara created the DUO line of glasses with two thicknesses of glass fused together. This creates an illusion of a glass half full with water even when it is empty. This glass maintains a clean straight line at the mouth, while the fusing line of the two thicknesses provides a gentle curve and dimple. This tokkuri, or small bottle for serving sake has a gentle lip for pouring, while the body of the glass gradually tapers and firmly rests on a thick base.

Measurements:
2.6 in wide x 6.3 in tall
9.4 oz

History: 
Based in Chiba, Japan – Sugahara Glassworks Inc. was started by Kazuma Sugahara almost a century ago in 1932. At its start, Sugahara Glassworks was run by only a single glassblower.  Now they produce over 4000 beautifully designed glass pieces with 40 glassblowers for global distribution.  Sugahara glassworks are truly world-renowned, largely in part to the company’s practice of having their glassblowers also act as their lead designers behind their collections – a rarity in the glass-works world.  Sugahara values the vast knowledge of their glassblowers, and they rely on this experience and knowledge to create glass products that draw out the true essence, beauty and versatility of glass for all of us to enjoy.
