Not painted. Not printed. Okinawan red clay and white clay, melted directly into the molten glass itself. The technique is called tsuchinomon (earth pattern) — and it's something Seiichirou Inamine developed on his own. You won't find it anywhere else in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlass and earth shouldn't belong together. And yet, in fire, they fuse. The red clay is the soil of Okinawa itself. The white clay is stillness. Both settle into the depths of this moss green glass, shifting with the light, changing with every angle. It's transparent, yet it feels grounded. Light to hold, yet somehow it settles you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is Ryukyu Glass at the edge of where it's still being invented. Seiichirou's father, Contemporary Master Craftsman Seikichi Inamine, created Awa Glass — the bubble glass that defines this studio. His son has now added tsuchinomon to that lineage, taking the same hand-blowing tradition somewhere no one has gone before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour in cold tea, sake, or whisky on the rocks — and watch the earth patterns shift while you drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e② Dimensions \u0026amp; Weight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 3.9 in (10 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth \/ Diameter: 3.5 in (9 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 3.5 in (9 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8.4 oz (237 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e③ Capacity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13.2 fl oz (391 ml).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e④ Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-blown Ryukyu Glass (琉球ガラス) in the tsuchinomon technique — Okinawan red clay and white clay melted directly into the surface of a moss-green molten glass body.

Slight variations in color, texture, clay distribution, and size are a natural part of the hand-blowing process — and part of its charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e⑦ Care Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash only with mild soap and a soft cloth. Not microwave safe. Not dishwasher safe. Avoid sudden temperature changes — never pour boiling liquid or place in a freezer. Hand-blown Ryukyu Glass is more delicate than mass-produced glassware; handle with care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e⑧ Food Safe Statement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade of lead-free glass as confirmed by the artisan.
