Although small, standing at approximately 7cm tall, its thick, substantial construction is impressive. This vessel, which fits in the palm of your hand, shows slight distortions and air bubbles unique to hand-blown glass, exuding a warmth not found in industrial products. The slight roughness around the rim and small bubble marks on the base are charming characteristics of glass that has aged over many years. It may have been used as a water cup or a candle holder, and imagining its uses sparks countless stories. Its simple appearance, which blends seamlessly into modern spaces, makes it a striking decorative piece.

It is called \"glassblowing\" in English. Glass raw materials (mainly silica sand, soda ash, lime, etc.) are melted into a viscous liquid in a furnace heated to approximately 1,100-1,300°C. Using an iron blowing pipe (a straw-like metal rod), the molten glass is gathered onto the tip. It is in a soft, sticky, candy-like state. Air is blown into the opposite end of the pipe, inflating the gathered glass like a balloon. Even inflation requires skill. While rotating the glass, its shape is adjusted using wooden molds or metal tools. Gravity and centrifugal force are also utilized to create roundness and expansion. Since rapid cooling would cause cracking, the glass is slowly cooled in a dedicated annealing oven. This removes internal stress from the glass. Because \"blown glass\" retains \"traces of human hands\" that are absent in machine-formed glass, it is particularly highly valued in antique glass and craft pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Based on AI research.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"イエローガレージ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42767205269588,"sku":"R070151","price":11000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3856\/4948\/files\/0_099451ad-1f48-4fa0-a5c9-b36275cce029.jpg?v=1765935945","url":"https:\/\/adhocstore.com\/en\/products\/atsude-glass-chiisana-utsuwa-europe-antique-70mm","provider":"ADHOCストアー","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
