Description
Discover how Xandre LLC connects traditional Ryukyu craftsmanship with global collectors of contemporary Japanese art and luxury lifestyle objects. By sourcing directly from independent Okinawan studios, our curated catalog presents authentic glassblowing inspired by the sea, landscapes, light, and living culture of Okinawa.
Crafted by Glass Art Ai (グラスアート藍) in Yanbaru, Okinawa, this individually mouth-blown tumbler captures the radiant warmth of an Okinawan coastal sunset.
Its layered color composition follows the visual progression of an island shoreline—from white coral sand through golden sunlight to rich sunset-red tones. A softly frosted surface diffuses surrounding light, giving the glass a warm, luminous appearance that changes subtly throughout the day.
Artistic Characteristics
- Sunset Shoreline Gradient: An opaque milky-white upper section transitions through glowing amber-yellow into a deep crimson-red lower section, evoking sunlight extending across Okinawa's beaches and coastal horizon.
- Frosted Finish & Soft Texture: A smooth matte surface gently diffuses light, creating a soft, radiant appearance while providing a comfortable tactile feel.
- Balanced Cylindrical Form: The straight-sided silhouette provides a clean contemporary profile, while subtle vertical ridges near the lower section add texture and grip.
- Individual Studio Craftsmanship: Each tumbler is mouth-blown and shaped individually at Glass Art Ai, resulting in natural differences in color-transition height, pigment density, and glass flow.
- Studio Documentation: Accompanied by official Glass Art Ai studio literature describing the coastal inspiration behind the design.
Curator's Note
Each Glass Art Ai tumbler possesses its own visual character. Variations in the height and density of the white-to-amber transition, sunset coloration, surface texture, glass flow, and contours are natural characteristics of individually hand-blown glass. These differences contribute to the individuality of each vessel and should not be considered manufacturing defects.
