Blue & White Cup – Mist
A wide band of misty blue fills the top of this cup, crossed by fine dark crackle lines like bare branches against a winter sky, before it softens into a snowy white base. Hold it up to the window and the blue glows like the last light of a cold afternoon.
The rim flares gently outward for an easy sip of chilled sake or cold tea.
Features
Daisaku Hashimura is known for crackled glass that moves away from smooth transparency, using a careful process of cooling and reheating to break up the surface into textures like ice or lace. Here that texture is layered over opaque white, so the scene changes as light passes through the upper band.
Each piece is hand-blown at Glass Studio 206, the studio Hashimura runs with his wife, glass artist Nomichi Hashimura, in Kamakura. This is a one-of-a-kind cup; its pattern of crackle is not repeated on any other.
