A glass vessel of light and life born from the depths of a lake

Kaminaga Akemi's "Lake Biwa Color Vessel Large" is a one-of-a-kind vessel that captures the color of Lake Biwa, an ancient lake that has stood the test of time, within glass.

Lake Biwa is one of the world's most ancient lakes, with a history of over 4 million years. Kaminaga has captured the life energy generated by the mud that accumulates at the bottom of the lake, the water teeming with life, and the swaying of the aquatic plants in glass.

The ash used in this vessel is made from burned aquatic plants from Lake Biwa. By dissolving the ash from the aquatic plants, a unique color is created that is both soft and deep, evoking the feeling of sunlight shining on the surface of the lake and the presence of life floating at the bottom.

At first glance, they appear tranquil, yet somehow powerful. Their mysterious presence gently stirs the sensibilities of those who see and touch them.

The size is just right for a side plate or dessert plate. The gently sloping edges make for a beautiful presentation, and the colors of the ingredients blend beautifully with the transparency of the glass. The impression changes depending on the amount of light, so one of its charms is that you can enjoy different looks during the day and at night.
