Sugahara Matte Black Glass Tumblers

Description:
Elegant matte black tumblers in two distinct styles. Each glass is entirely mouth-blown by skilled Japanese glassblowers, and will vary slightly in shape. These glasses are made of pure black glass that has been created by mixing together many different colored glasses - it is not coated to achieve it's lustrous, shiny, opaque appearance. Elevate any cocktail or glass of wine in these distinct and stylish tumblers. 

Variation:
Each glass is mouth-blown and unique so there will always be variation in the shape. Available in an organic U-Shape or sculptural V-Shape. 

History:
Based in Chiba, Japan - Sugahara Glassworks Inc. was started by Kazuma Sugahara almost a century ago in 1932. At its start, Sugahara Glassworks was run by only a single glassblower.  Now they produce over 4000 beautifully designed glass pieces with 40 glassblowers for global distribution.  Sugahara glassworks are truly world-renowned, largely in part to the company's practice of having their glassblowers also act as their lead designers behind their collections - a rarity in the glass-works world.  Sugahara values the vast knowledge of their glassblowers, and they rely on this experience and knowledge to create glass products that draw out the true essence, beauty and versatility of glass for all of us to enjoy.
