Yoshihiro Nishiyama Short Octagon Bottle

 Used as a bottle or a vase, Yoshihiro Nishiyama’s transparent glass vessel’s octagonal form lends geometric rigor to the artist’s signature textural surfaces. Style B is differentiated by its defined shoulders and widened neck. A master of Katabuki (kata meaning “mold” and buki meaning “blow”), he manipulates the temperature of his hand-blown pieces while experimenting with gravity to forge rippled, light-dancing finishes that he likens to “floating on the surface of a lake.”
