Grapes Hand-Painted Glass Plate

Grapes

A piece of hand-painted fused glass that exists only once in the world,
drawn from the beauty of the autumn harvest.

Clusters of grapes turning deep purple, violet and rosy red,
with leaves painted down to the veins and the shifts of colour,
and vines curling gracefully away.

Each single grape carries its own changes of colour and shadow,
which gives the fruit the roundness of something naturally ripened.

The clear, finely textured glass forms the ground,
so the grapes, the leaves and the vines seem to rise within the glass —
light, and beautifully finished.

From the end of summer into early autumn,
the fine season of ripening grapes is held in a single sheet of glass.

Each piece is painted by hand in Japan and finished in the kiln —
fused glass art that exists only once in the world.

Grapes
A one-of-a-kind hand-painted fused glass art plate celebrating the beauty of the autumn harvest.

Rich clusters of grapes in deep purple, violet, and rosy red are surrounded by carefully detailed grape leaves and graceful curling vines. Each leaf is individually painted with delicate veins, natural variations in color, and subtle shading, capturing the beauty of real grape foliage.

The translucent, softly textured glass creates a luminous background, allowing the grapes and botanical details to appear as if floating within the glass.

Inspired by the abundant beauty of late summer and early autumn, this piece captures the quiet richness of ripening grapes.

Each piece is hand-painted and kiln-fused in Japan, making it a unique work of Japanese fused glass art.

One of a Kind / Hand-Painted / Made in Japan

A piece painted by hand with care one at a time.
Fired more than seven times over,
it is finished slowly, little by little.
The painted areas meet the standards of the Food Sanitation Act,
and the surface is further coated with clear, colourless glass.
In normal use there is no concern of the painting coming away. Use it as a plate,
or display it in a room, where its brilliance looks lovely.
