Japanese layered cameo inside and outside -glass sake cup - Kitaichi Glass Otaru

(1/2) > >>

flying free:
I've not much information to give on this little piece, but it's very pretty. The cameo is on the inside and the outside - it's done in  5 colours, amber, clear, red, blue and yellow.   I don't know how it was made but I think it's sandblasted presumably with some sort of stencil type thing.  It looks as thought the layers were thinly done in varying colours.  The blue flowers are cut on the interior.  The amber and red on the exterior.  The background is frosted clear with a yellow rim.  It's very effective and looks beautiful when properly lit to show the layers and colours.
I think it was done perhaps in the mid 2000's
There seem to be a few glass makers in the Otaru area and Kitaichi I think is one of them but I'm open to correction as my Japanese is non-existent and that's all I've been able to find out.
