Apple Side Plate Pair

Inspired by Aomori Prefecture’s famed apples, this handmade charming pair of glass small plates captures their delicate beauty in miniature. Each plate shimmers with soft translucence and nuanced color.

One recalls the freshness of a green apple, with pale yellow and white gently intertwined. The other glows with soft shades of red, pink, and white, echoing the warmth of a ripe apple. Though distinct in color, both share a warm tone that gently complements everyday meals.

Compact yet versatile, they’re ideal for small sides, condiments, or sweets, and suit both Japanese and Western tables with ease. Light-catching and palm-sized, each plate brings a subtle sparkle—making this pair both practical and gift-worthy.

In 1927, it became the first company in Japan to successfully mass-produce clear glass using a tank furnace—an innovation that significantly contributed to the modernization of the Japanese glass industry.

Tsugaru Vidro

Tsugaru Vidro is a handcrafted Japanese glassware made in Aomori Prefecture. It began in 1949 with the production of glass fishing floats. Later, the discovery that local sand from Shichiri-Nagahama produced a vivid green hue led to new creative explorations in color.

Since then, skilled artisans have continued to refine their techniques, using free-blowing methods and original colored glass to create delicate and vibrant designs. Each piece captures the natural beauty of Japan’s seasons, bringing warmth and color to everyday life.
