I have posted before pieces by Takeshi and Youko Sano, the very creative and skilled glass artists working in Toyama.
I have wanted one of Takeshi's mosaic glass vases for quite a while and was happy when this was advertised as artist unknown, so a slightly better price than usual.
I knew immediately who had made it as his style is very distinctive, and fortunately it is also signed.
This small vase, 15 cm, has a lot in it.
The glass pieces have been made, cut to size, remelted and then worked into the vase shape. The surface of the vase has also been textured, and the result is a piece that is extremely lovely to hold and also uses light in a special way.
It is very Japanese I think: very complex but is such a subtle way it is restful in simplicity.
Stunning - Simple, yet Regal and Majestic.....
and WOW ... you can read the Japanese writing now ??
I wish Rose! I have another signed piece from him to compare the signature to.
Thanks for the love.
Magnificent beauty Karen, the mosaic colors are both soft and vibrant - much skill & talent here
Love the melange of warm colours on this...it's mellow & vibrant all at once!
strange i can,t crack the kanji , maybe i missed something but i was on this for houres, otherwise i have to buy the expertise
personnaly i believe in this, i think it is a hell of a piece
sorry i really try to dig very deep
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!
Karen, this is stunning, so beautiful..I’m so pleased you managed to at last Aquire one, always nice when they don’t know what they have and price accordingly ..well done!
Thanks Jenni, you have nailed it
Marin melange is a lovely word. I will apply it forthwith
Apostsa thank you for trying to read the kanji
I have no doubt it is a Taeshi Sano piece. His work is extremely distinctive and the signature is identical to another piece of his I have that came with documents
I always value your feedback
Many thanks Kevin
