This piece is a masterful example of ""Chu-buki"" (free-blown / hand-blown) glass, showcasing organic contours and a dramatic asymmetrical form that beautifully captures the essence of natural rock formations and geological layers. The coloration is exceptional, blending deep, earthy amber and charcoal tones at the base with vibrant, layered shades of green that seem to flow across the undulating rim. Hosoi Motoo is highly celebrated for his ability to translate the raw beauty of nature and time into the fluid medium of glass. The complex textures and bubbles captured within the glass give the piece an incredible depth, making it a stunning centerpiece for contemporary interiors, art collections, or as a sophisticated flower vessel (Hanaki). The piece comes complete with its original artist-signed wooden storage box (Tomobako). Condition Excellent condition / Mint condition. The glass body is perfectly preserved with no chips, cracks, or visible scratches. It retains its brilliant luster and original artistic integrity. Wooden Box: The original tomobako is in very good, clean condition, showing only minimal signs of handling and storage. Please review the photos carefully to appreciate the intricate coloration, dynamic form, and superb condition of this artwork. Dimensions (Approx.)
