The blown glass object bears thorns of white gold.This piece is 21.5 x 9 x 16 cm (8-1/2 x 3-1/2 x 6-1/2 inches) and is in excellent condition, directly from the artist.
According to Masahiro: I create my works through glassblowing. Glass takes shape by controlling heat, gravity, and centrifugal force. Inside the furnace, molten glass moves slowly, revealing a seductive, almost sensual expression. My works emerge from the organic forms and movements that glass naturally displays.
