Naoko Takenouchi is one of our top glassblowers.  She currently resides in Vancouver, BC (Just a hop, skip and a jump from our Seattle Gallery) with her husband and a couple of very cute cats.  These vessels are from her renowned "Twig Series".  The delicate neck of the vessel is pierced by a hand-forged steel "Twig".  Palladium leaf is applied to the exterior of the vessel, and designs are precision sandblasted onto the front and back.  The entire vessel is then sandblasted for the soft finish you see here.  The size of these pieces are perfect for shelving or Etageres. 

Call our toll free number for colors and designs currently available.
