Vintage Soy Sauce Blue Glass Cruet

A beautiful soy sauce dispenser found at an antique store in Shimane prefecture.

The light  blue colour exudes a refreshing charm and features a lovely Japanese antique design.  Old glassware often displays small bubbles or irregular thickness, which are marks of handmade craftsmanship. These characteristics enhance the charm of antique pieces. The blue color was traditionally achieved by mixing cobalt or copper into the glass, resulting in a vibrant and deep blue hue. This particular shade of blue possesses a special allure that is rarely seen in modern glass products.

It is not only practical for using soy sauce but also serves as a stylish display piece in your kitchen or dining area. Additionally, you can use it to hold oil or vinegar, allowing you to enjoy a blend of Japanese and Western styles.
