Jomon Rock (Blue) is the most popular of the Jomon series, which has been loved for many years as a signature series of Hizen Vidro.
This rocks glass is the easiest shape to use for everyday use. With a capacity of around 250mm, it is a little small for a rocks glass, but it is easy to handle and even women can hold it comfortably. It would also be fun to use it as a soba choko (small cup for drinking soba). This is a product that you should definitely try.
The unique rope-like design resembles a string. 40 years have passed since its release, and this pattern has become such a long-selling item that locals recognize it as Hizen Vidro.
Occasionally, customers ask me, "Is this pattern painted?", but the pattern is actually made of glass. The molten colored glass is wrapped around clear glass and fused together, so the pattern will never fade.
Because they are handmade using the "free-blowing" method, which is said to be the most primitive and difficult method, each piece is slightly different in shape and pattern, which is where the beauty of handmade items lies. In addition, intentional depressions are created on the surface to give it texture and enhance the handmade feel.
This Jomon Lock is small, but its size makes it cute and easy to use, so it's sure to come in handy.
