Japanese
Glass Identification Guide + Gallery
<<
Back to Encyclopedia Home Page
There is currently not all that much known about the Japanese glass industry, but more and more quality pieces of glassware are appearing, bearing Japan labels. Not just new glass, but vintage pieces from around 1950's - 1970's, the quality and style of which rivals Murano, Scandinavian, and Czech glass production. I have a hunch that Japanese glassware will become much more popular as more information is discovered, so watch this space!
