Vintage Toshichi Iwata Calligraphy Pulegoso Bubble Art Glass Vase

This striking vintage Japanese art glass vase by Toshichi Iwata (1893–1980) exemplifies his renowned “Calligraphy Series” of the 1960s. Created using the Pulegoso technique, the piece features graceful black trails that flow across a translucent body, evoking the motion and rhythm of brushstrokes in ink on paper. The controlled bubbles within the glass add depth and character, showcasing Iwata’s signature fusion of modern form and traditional Japanese aesthetics. A refined and sculptural example of mid-century Japanese studio glass design.
