Based in Osaka, Iwatsu Glass stands as one of Japan's most recognised and prolific manufacturers of mid-century art glass. Operating at the height of the country's post-war manufacturing boom, the furnaces produced an outstanding volume of high-quality decorative wares that rivalled the output of traditional European glasshouses on the global market.
The company reached a creative and production peak during the 1960s and 1970s, releasing a diverse range of vases, centrepieces, and art glass pieces. They captured the aesthetic of mid-century modern design, frequently featuring vibrant swirls of colour cased in thick, clear glass.
