A striking ribbed Japanese art glass vase attributed to Sanyu, one of Japan’s most prolific mid century glasshouses, known for its bold colour gradients, ribbed forms, and high quality cased glass production throughout the 1960s–80s. Their work is instantly recognisable for its vibrant fades, excellent weight, and crisp moulded detailing, making Sanyu a favourite among collectors of Japanese art glass.
This example features a vibrant green to orange fade, with clear outer casing and vertical ribbing that catches the light beautifully.
The vase has excellent weight at 1.9 kg, giving it strong presence, and stands 23.5 cm high with a 5.5 cm neck. Although the original Sanyu label is missing, the form, ribbing, colourway and base finish are all consistent with documented Sanyu production from the 1970s–80s.
A visually striking and highly decorative piece of Japanese glass that works beautifully in contemporary interiors.
