A striking example of late-20th-century Japanese crystal design, this dark blue lion dish by Sasaki combines sculptural form with luminous depth. Cast in lead crystal, its weight and clarity evoke the refined precision for which the Tokyo glassworks became known. The stylized lion, both decorative and functional, reflects the brand’s mid-century modern sensibility — bold yet disciplined, expressive within geometric restraint.
In pristine condition, the piece captures light with quiet brilliance, revealing subtle tonal shifts across its faceted mane and smooth basin. Whether used as a candy or nut dish, or simply displayed as an object of design, it stands as a testament to Sasaki’s elegant synthesis of craftsmanship and modern artistry.
Dimensions: approx. 10 " (length) × 3¾ " (width)
