About Ryukyu Glass
Ryukyu glass traces its roots back centuries, but its modern form emerged in the aftermath of war. After World War II, when supplies were scarce and rebuilding had just begun, Okinawan artisans began repurposing discarded soda and beer bottles. They melted the glass, shaped it by hand, and created pieces full of texture and vibrant color. These early works often carried air bubbles, uneven lines, and unexpected hues, giving Ryukyu glass a character that felt both raw and beautiful.
Over time, these handmade pieces became a symbol of Okinawan identity. The glass spoke of resourcefulness and care, turning humble materials into objects that brought color and warmth into daily life.
Please note that each item is exquisitely hand-crafted and unique so the shipped pieces may not exactly match the photo.
