One of Japan's manufacturers of mid-century glass that is not as well known that some of the others is Koshida Glass, a company who produced a smaller amount of incredible pieces, but still predominantly focused on the Western export market.

These can often be found today with a KOF Glass foil labels still intact - KOF Glass being one of their glassware ranges.
