Pitcher Large
BY Naoya Arakawa
$300 USD
Defined by its rippling texture and luminous finish, Naoya Arakawa’s Awa Pitcher captures the quiet beauty of rain streaking down a windowpane in masterfully hand-blown glass.
Renowned for forging glass with the qualities of water, Naoya Arakawa draws endless inspiration from nature, especially from a stream near his workshop in Kyoto, Japan. Using traditional Japanese techniques he has been honing for more than 40 years—along with his own, bespoke formulas of sand and other natural materials—he hand-blows glass vessels meant to reflect the landscape around him, shifting and shimmering in the changing light.
