While the factory quickly established a reputation for immense technical prowess - famously winning a Grand Prix for their exquisite art glass at the 1937 Paris World Expo - it is their incredibly vibrant, mid-to-late 20th-century output that truly cemented their enduring legacy in the global vintage market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe company's most sought-after era is defined by their mastery of 'Multiple Layer Glass,' the intricate, labour-intensive technique from which the brand eventually derived its famous \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"184\"\u003eMulti Glass\u003c\/i\u003e name. Glass blowers expertly suspended ribbons of glass within thick, heavy clear casings. During the 1960s and 1970s, this method was used to produce vases, centrepieces, and a wildly popular range of sculptural animal figurines. Authentication relies on surviving foil stickers, which are frequently found bearing the \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"633\"\u003eMulti Glass\u003c\/i\u003e mark (occasionally translated phonetically by international sellers as \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"716\"\u003eMarti Glass\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWhile the original Multi Glass factory closed its doors in 1999 after an 80-year run, a dedicated group of its master craftsmen refused to let the legacy die. In 2000, these artisans successfully acquired the rights to the name and opened a brand new, smaller-scale studio in Fukutsu City, ensuring that the historic craft of Fukuoka layered glass continues to be produced to this very day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHIS LISTING\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e Vase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960s\/70s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e Lime Green\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e 28cm (11\") tall, 15cm diameter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent condition with no wear that we can see.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Multi Glass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48387163717799,"sku":null,"price":425.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/5839\/5559\/files\/temp_fd89bb0e-90aa-489c-961c-b342812695cc.jpg?v=1775970640","url":"https:\/\/thatretropiece.com\/products\/multi-glass-japan-art-glass-11-vase-in-lime-green-rare-find","provider":"That Retro Piece","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
