The ”Utakata” series captures the expression of countless glass bubbles, resembling the crystallized bubbles. The name "Utakata" translates to "fleeting" or "transient" in Japanese. These transparent and soft blue vessels evoke a scene reminiscent of snow piling up and blue peonies gracefully melting within the glass, as if these pieces capture such fleeting moments in crystalline form. With its polished bottom, this bowl provides both practicality and aesthetic pleasure, making it a delightful choice for mealtime use and admiration.
