I've had this vase a few years now and have only very recently identified it as Japanese.
To be honest, for ages I thought it Czech, but I have learned heaps about Japanese glass in the last six months or so, and yep, even when I didn't know it was Japanese it pulled me in.
This is likely Kamei:
Purple glass - check
Thick clear casing - check
Casing has been ribbed and twisted - check
Ground base - check
Thick hot finished rim - check
It's not very big at 17cm (6.5in) but heavy 1.2kg
Yeah - they can be pretty nice.
Thanks for the comment from the colour averted!
I prefer the term colourphobic!
Or clearaholic.
You said it......I would have said a purist (but only after some wine)
That's me, pure!
Stunning!!!!! As always
Thanks Ken for the lovely comment as usual.

Looks like something you just HAVE to put your hands on! Love your new user id photo too :)
Thanks SUP! It is very tactile as is most of my glass.
I'm often that sulky......picture is by Yoshitomo Nara - look him up and be entertained :)
OMG ...it's amazing! Love the purple!
Beautiful! I couldn't be a purist, I love colors too much, all of them. :)
I know you both are getting in to coloured glass and I agree this purple is lovely! The more colour in glass the more I like it!
Thanks Melanie and Katherine.
