Sanyu Glass (Japan) Art Glass Centrepiece

One of Japan's most recognised manufacturers of mid-century glass is Sanyu Glass Co, a company who produced an outstanding amount of incredible pieces predominantly bound for the Western export market.

The company have been producing glass from as early as the 1950s, prolific in the 1960s and 1970s with a fantastic range of vases, centrepieces and art pieces, found in a variety of styles.

Often mistaken for Italian and Czech pieces, these can often be found today with a variety of labels including Fantasy or Narumi foil labels still intact - both being some of their glassware ranges.

A gorgeous orangey-red centrepiece, in a style, with its ribbed undersides and elongated shape, is a known model of the company.
