Even in the hands of skilled artisans, a piece takes as long as half a year to complete — a work into which a great deal of time, care and passion has gone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Stem Fired at 1,300°C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stem of the wine glass is made from high-grade pottery stone from Amakusa in Kyushu, and fired at temperatures rising to 1,300°C. Because of that intense heat, finishing a stem that stands straight without warping was extremely difficult, and it took trial and error again and again. This is a wine glass that carries the artisans’ romance of uniting beauty and technique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArita Romance Glass, by Fukusen Kiln\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe “Arita Romance Glass” is a wine glass in which the transparency of glass and the beauty of Arita ware bring out each other’s qualities, leaving an impression of lustrous colour and dazzling gold.
