    This bowl designed by Denji Takeuchi is one I consider an exceptional piece of modernist glass. Made by Sasaki to their usual high standard in the 60s it is perfectly balanced in proportion and shape - I'm just sorry you can't physically experience it!

    Takeuchi spent some time working in the USA and Europe in 1962/63 and I recall reading that he was greatly affected by the clean lines of Scandinavian glass art of this era. Certainly sparse, clever design like this remained a design style for him.

    This bowl came in different sizes and in amber, green and blue. I would love a full set!
    Also in this series is a fantastic teardrop shape bowl I hanker for. Unfortunately I am not alone and these Takeuchi designs are extremely hard to find.

    This one arrived in it's original box and is pretty well perfect.
    Diameter 18cm

      I have read somewhere that the design came in two sizes but have only ever seen the 18cm bowl. Nice you have one!
