This is a glass *kensui* (waste-water bowl), yet its ideal size and shape also make it suitable for use as a tea bowl. The most eye-catching feature is the generous use of gold powder throughout the piece. Combined with the transparency of the glass, it exudes a luxurious yet refined brilliance, adding an air of elegance to any setting or space where it is used or displayed.
The beautiful gold-adorned surface is further enhanced by the addition of red swirling decorations, highlighting the modern and unique design. When exposed to light, the gold sparkles and reveals different expressions from various angles, showcasing its presence at any time or place. The soft reflections characteristic of glass, combined with the luxuriousness of the gold, make this piece a perfect blend of elegance and sophistication.
The red swirling lines on the surface evoke a sense of dynamic movement, bringing the piece to life. The handcrafted nature of the decoration demonstrates the artistic ingenuity, utilizing the flexibility of glass as a medium. Although originally created as a *kensui*, it also boasts practical versatility, suitable for use as a tea bowl or even for serving drinks or desserts.
Unfortunately, we have been unable to identify the artist, but we believe that only a select few artists possess the skill to create such a remarkable work. The fusion of abundant gold powder with a modern design makes this glass *kensui* not only a luxurious and refined tea utensil or decorative piece but also a perfect item to be enjoyed in everyday life.
