This great piece from Iwata recently arrived from Japan.
I think it dates to the 1980s or so, and I don't know who would have designed it.
It's made from a dark blue glass cased in clear, made into a flat slab and rolled. During production it has had clear glass balls inserted into the glass so the light shines through like stars on a velvety sky.
It's about 30cm tall
Gorgeous & unique blue lamp, love those little glass balls they definitely have a starlight appearance when lit & give a mysterious quality
That is just super cool...
That's a great lamp, when lit up it looks like a little slice of a galaxy complete with stars and a moon, it's very mystical and would look perfect in someplace like Nostradamus or Galileo's modern attic apartment (if either had one!) :P
Hey thanks Jenni! The balls make it really, and even unlit they highlight the whole piece.
It’s an interesting a different piece of Japanese glass.
Suit you then Marin!
I mean that.
Of course I don’t have one of them Lauren but I get the vibe.
It will have to stay here with us in this daggy 70s house and show us up and allow us to dream lol.
Thanks :))
:-)
Thanks so much, my dear friend...
Your 70s home vibes could be rather appropriate for a spaced - out piece like this...
Wonderful ingenious piece, I love the creativity it displays!
Wow I love your lamp ! I would use it and display for sure :-)
Thanks Lisa, it is a quite simple piece that shows how glass can work in lots of ways.
Thanks for your love.
Thanks Mani, and great to hear from you!
What a primo lamp!
Light it up and wait until dark, then the show begins!
My Son ( who loves all things Japanese) would flip over this amazing light!
Thanks for the love and comment Maureen.
Clearly your son has good taste! :)

So sorry Eileen, and I will leave this up to keep me real :))
It’s a beautiful color along with being unique.
Hey thanks Jim, glad you like it!
