Cosmo Sake Set [コスモ酒器セット（徳利1・御猪口2）]
Made to order in Okinawa. Please allow up to 8 weeks for delivery. See our Ryukyu Glass Policy.
Made by Sueyoshi Seiichi, a Contemporary Master Craftsman. Where Ginga is the sky seen from outside it, Cosmo is the sky seen from the ground. Bubbles of many sizes sit at different depths in the glass, so the light catches them one after another and the whole surface reads as stars coming down toward you.
The set pairs one carafe with two cups, which is how awamori is poured here: you fill for the other person and they fill for you. Sold as a set of three pieces.
Every piece is made by hand, so size, color, pattern and the way the bubbles sit will differ from one to the next. Not heatproof. Keep it out of the dishwasher, the drying cabinet and the freezer.

The maker
Sueyoshi Seiichi
Contemporary Master Craftsman
As a boy, Sueyoshi Seiichi loved watching the sky while night-fishing off Okinawa, and that habit of looking up became a life's work. Named a Contemporary Master Craftsman, he is the maker who first brought the night sky into Ryukyu glass. To hold a comet's core he fired gold leaf into black glass, watched it burn away, and after trial upon trial found that silver leaf would stay as grains on the surface. In the kiln each grain turns its own shade of blue, and a night sky appears inside the glass.

Cosmo
Cosmo holds the night sky seen from the ground, its stars stood in by large and small bubbles. Because those bubbles carry the light, the same pieces also belong to the Bubbles lens.
