These pieces of glassware were made at Glass Studio Seiten, on the island of Okinawa.

Glass of the type made at Seiten by Kiyoharu Matsuda and his team, is known as saisei glass. Saisei literally means ‘reborn’, and in glass it refers to a process to melt and recreate empty drinks bottles into beautiful forms.

Blended for texture and colour, the glass is heated from fragments, before being blown and swirled into new shapes.

Small vessels with a lid, these pieces are intended as soy sauce servers - although they could work with other condiments too. The variations within the glass, and minor changes in shape make each piece unique, handmade items for the table.

Saisei glass has deep connection to Okinawa’s post war history, as craftspeople used the materials they could find to create a new lineage in glass. The results today refract sunlight, and seem somehow to encapsulate it within their material.

They are 6cm wide, and around 13cm high.

The capacity is 70ml, and the weight 300g.

As all are handmade, each piece is slightly different.
