Yoroi

Barovier&Toso

The Yoroi vase majestically fuses tradition and modernity, drawing inspiration from the shapes of ancient Greek ceramics and adorned with a texture that echoes the scales of samurai armor. The creation of this masterpiece begins with the ancient technique of "drawing the rods," essential for the formation of murrine. At the heart of each murrina lies an opaque core, surrounded by a veil of transparent amber that captures and diffuses light, creating a visual depth that transforms each vase into a unique work of art. The name Yoroi, meaning "armor" in Japanese, pays homage to both the refinement of ancient samurai protections and the art of glassmaking. Each Yoroi Vase is a bridge between the cultural legacies of ancient Greece and Japan, celebrating artisanal excellence and beauty transformed through glass.
