    Two bowls (aka ashtrays) from the Japanese glass company Koshida.
    These would date to the 60s.

    Both beautifully moulded, and showing Koshida's trademark ringed base.

    The green is the larger of the two with green into clear glass, two part ribs and a nicely rounded bowl. The glass has been iridised and glows beautifully. Sticker on the base KOF. Height 9cm width 13cm

    The red is in a similar vein but instead of ribs it has bumps , although the glass here is not iridised. No sticker although I am certain it is a KOF bowl. Height 8cm width 11cm

    Certainly for ashtrays there has been a lot of design and mould making to produce these very pretty bowls.

      Look a bit like Jello molds, and I love Jello. Lovely! :)

      Beautiful pieces Karen :) The green one looks like it could keep company with your two Sanyu vases. The red one look like a giant raspberry in the bottom pic. :)

      Gorgeous, Karen......so 60's in their 'heft' but more fluid, less angular than what their counterparts in Europe were doing at the time.

      Yeah jelly!!! You are sooo right Katherine! Thanks :)

      Thanks SD.....lovely.

      Now officially known as the raspberry bowl Mike. The green needs a good name too thanks!

      Well said Peggy. Indeed very 60s, and very Japanese too, and although the Czechs were doing great things with moulded glass then it wasn't like this.
      Thanks.

      We've talked about this before, the difference between European and Japanese glass. One is static, the other is dynamic. These look so fluid, so full of movement. As do most all your pieces. So glad you collect it, and share it here. :)

      I want to lick the raspberry bowl, and the lime bowl!!! :))

      Another pair of beauties Karen! What I find interesting is that most of your Japanese vases have some sort of textured surface. Is that typical, or is it just your taste? BTW I love your taste!!!
    9. racer4four racer4four, 9 years ago
      I am so with you Katherine! Lime and raspberry jelly rules.

      Good point Rick. The Japanese do love surface decoration and this is a carry over I think from their ceramic culture. Particularly this period in the 50s -70s they hot worked a lot. Now they tend to add surface decoration with glass pigment and metals. They also love cut crystal, often the more detailed the cut the better.
      They have and do make plain surfaced glass but it is generally cased glass so colour is there. They are a long way away from the simplicity of Scandi glass :)
