Katsuya Ohgita Glass Houses Grande Cobalt Blue

Katsuya Ohgita casts glass into houses in his studio outside of Kanazawa, Japan. The roofs are then appointed with gold or platinum leaf, and sometimes finished with a more rustic look. These are like amulets, waiting to be held, to sit upon your window sill, soaking up and transmitting the warm sun into your life. These are collectible, engaging, and inherently giftable.

This large house is a rare piece that we only can get occasionally.  It is 5-1/2″ long x 4-1/2″ tall x 3.25″ wide ($950)
