Female artist, Shizuyo Seagusa, chief designer for Kimura
Glass Company in Tokyo, Japan, has created the Kikatsu glassware
collection. Each glass is a unique work of art with every aspect
contributing to the artistic expression - from the thickness
of the glass to the size and shape, and finally to the etched
design that completes the piece. Requiring the talents of master
craftspeople, each glass is blown by mouth and hand etched.
Producing one glass requires a painstaking 30 minutes to one
hour and must be done very carefully as not to break the fragile
glass.
