    After my last post of Japanese glass I thought I would take you in a different direction.
    From the Hokuyo vase freehand explosion of glass to this Hoya Crystal very planned and controlled execution.

    A perfectly ground piece of glass in a pencil shape, with a quartz clock inserted.
    Hoya made many glass wall and desk clocks in their time and I have a few (!!) but this is one of my faves.
    There is no doubt their crystal was of exceptional quality and beauty.

    Note: the photos are crap, not the glass. The glass is perfectly straight and polished.

    Height: 12cm

      That's amazing. No way in-no way out? Everlasting battery?

      HOYA ~ best Japanese art glass? Aren't they also the lens company?

      Thanks Thomas for the love and comment.

      Ken thanks......the photos don't do it justice, and that's after editing!

      These are no longer made by Hoya but are still around Peggy.
      Hoya and some other Japanese companies liked crystal clocks but some are very fussy in that 80s way. This one is witty and wonderful but a bit rarer.

      Gillian the clock slides out face first to fix, but it's a tight fit.
      You can see the clock acknowledge through the glass as but it's tidy so not ugly.

      Blade it's the same Hoya but they stopped making art glass in 2008.
      They used their crystal and grinding skills to make great glass pieces from the late 40s. You may have seen some of their cut wine glasses, although they did make cheaper pressed glass home wares for a while.
      In later years they made exceptional glass pieces, made with the same accuracy they use in lens making.

      It is absolutely chokkas (Australian saying) Rose, plus a room full of packed boxes.
      I am due for a sort out and glass washing week so maybe then?

      I'm familiar with Hoya as a lens maker, for eyeglasses, cameras and binoculars, but had no idea that they also made art glass, from the late '40s you say. Thanks for the continuing Ed lesson, Karen. [;>)

      Interesting info., I would love to see all your stuff too!! But.. when you live in OH in 700 sq. ft. you need bins for clothes and lots of them. Really cramps my hoarding abilities. GRR!! ;)
