Celestial Robe Glass [美ら舞グラス]
Made by Gaja Yoshihide, an Okinawa Prefectural Master of Craft. Okinawa has its own telling of the heavenly robe legend, in which a celestial woman lifts away from the earth. Gaja built this series from gyoku, a translucent white glass, layered with silver leaf. The white rises, the silver catches, and the piece reads more like cloth in the air than glass on a table.
An everyday glass. Water in the morning, something stronger after dark.
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.
