A Gift from the Glass LightbulbShotoku Glass Co., Ltd was established in 1922 originally as a manufacturing factory for light bulbs. |
The Thin and Delicate “Usuhari” SeriesShotoku Glass continues to manufacture sophisticated, thin glasses mainly for drinking. They have taken their technique one step further by creating a brand called “Usuhari”, which literally means “thin glass”. The thinness of the glass rim, and the sound of the ice in the glass, helps enhance the taste of the drink. |
Establishing awareness for what cannot be created by machinesWe went back to the showroom to learn more. At Shotoku Glass Co., original glasses can be made upon request. (quantity, budget, etc. to be discussed) Nakata was extremely interested in this. The design and shape can be special ordered as well. As all procedures at Shotoku Glass Co., is done by hand, Saito told us, ”We must make things that cannot be done by machine-manufactured glass.” |
