Toyo-Sasaki Glass

Japan is a country with a rich "culture of tableware" in which many different types of tableware are used to serve food. Since the Edo period, Japanese dishes have been highly prized in Europe. Even today, Japanese designs are experiencing a silent boom in Europe and the U.S. Japan is now developing a tableware culture that fuses elements of east and west, as European, American, and Asian tastes are incorporated into local cuisine.

Glass is an important part of this culture. In addition to having wonderful characteristics that allow it to be molded into any shape and infused with a wide range of colors, glass can retain a beautiful luster almost indefinitely.

Toyo-Sasaki melts the raw materials used in their glass at temperatures exceeding 1,400, and control the formation of the glass through masterful heat management and the use of precision molds. The manufacturer shapes the glass using their own special rolling and stretching techniques, creating beautiful glassware that is expressive of sensitivity and creativity.

Born of Japan's rich tableware culture, Toyo-Sasaki Glass has developed the highest level of product quality backed by solid glass-making techniques. Toyo-Sasaki will continue to strive to bring new inspiration to the world through products that fully exhibit the incredible beauty of glass.
