Please help identify this glassware
-
It's Himeri, (as it says on the label) I presume.
They are known contemporary Japanese glassmakers. :)
-
Hineri Glass LOL
-
;D It's good to see you around Kane!
The image is blurry. I am (now officially) old. My eyesight is failing in a spectacular manner. My glasses don't work dreadfully well. I coudldn't tell the difference between a mmm and an nnn and I'd forgotten the real name.
-
I know the feeling...I need new glasses! Still check out the boards occasionally but nothing to post now days...have only bought 2 pieces of glass in 5 years LOL :)
-
Me too - failing eyesight even with decent glasses. When I added the ID to the initial title, I simply copied the word from Sue's post and did not note the "m" instead of an "n". Now corrected.
-
Hineri was a line of glass by Japanese glass maker Iwatsu.
-
That's good to know - you know loads of good-to-know stuff, I need to start stalking you properly! ;D
I've tried to read the label again - wearing close-up glasses and my sight has deteriorated.
The first letter H now looks like the Russian backwards N, and there are two ms in the middle. ::)
-
Eh, I find stalking to be so time consuming...... Contact me through my art collection web site, and I will send you a link to my "personal" public web site, if you want. I am always interested in collaborating with other serious collectors.

I had laser surgery about 20 years ago, modified monovision, one eye for close up and the other for distance, and am only just recently starting to experience some difficulty with close up reading again.
I have started a Japanese Art Glass web site for featuring my collection and sharing information, but not at all happy with it in its current form so stopped adding to it and going to redo it "soon". I don't do any social media, FaceBook, etc., so cannot avail myself of the various on line interest groups. Message boards are about as close as I get to something approximating social media.
-
;D Me neither when it comes to social media - this forum and emails are my limit.
Thanks for your site link - I see you start off talking about paintings - an interest of ours too. I'm going to have fun with that today.
And I needed something to have some fun with - thanks again!
Are you aware that Sam Herman is a painter and sculptor as well as glassmaker?
There's nothing he did I don't love. ::)
-
Enjoy! I no longer collect paintings as I ran out of wall space years ago. I started that site maybe 15 years ago. If I see a painting that needs rescuing and is not too large, I will occasionally pick one up, Don't think I've done that since 2018... I keep the site up as a resource for others. I still frequently get emails from various types of people... There is no glass on that site, just paintings, sculptures, etc.
-
:) Painting is a huge field. We'd rather an original by an unknown artist than any print , and we ought to be supporting contemporary artists anyway. ;D
My partner and I have different ideas about wall space. I seem to think we have a lot more than he does.
Galleries display them in more than one line around a room, don't they?
It's a really wonderful resource you have created there. It's going to keep me entertained for ages. :-*
-
I am OK with limited edition prints, hand pulled by the artist, signed and numbered, also monotypes, etc., and have a few.
I use the salon style approach to displaying artwork and have ten foot ceilings in my Victorian home, so have floor to ceiling artwork and wall to wall, about 900 of my 2000+ painting collection are on display at all times. Each to his or her own aesthetic, though.
I never suffer from a lack of things to look at and am constantly rediscovering my collection. I took a quick look for some images of my house but couldn't find any. I will post some later, if I find them...
-
We'll be cafe-d soon. And we can't post pics there. Our house is victorian too - and came with picture rails. Himself decided that means one layer only. ::)
It's his house, I don't get a vote. I just chose it, furnished it and designed everything in it. ;D
I loved your story about the Welsh painting and your probable ancestor smuggling his lady-love out in a chest... what a romantic tale, but I'll bet it was one of fear at the time.
