About This Product

 

Kokeshi glass pens are made by a Japanese glass artist using burner work.

Burnerwork is a type of glass forming technique in which glass is melted and shaped by the flame of a burner. It's also known as lampwork and flamework. 

There are two types of burners; the artist’s choice depends on the glass being used and the desired shape. Air burners are used to melt soft glass while oxygen burners are used to melt hard glass. These two types of burners generally have different applications, too:

  • Air burner: glass beads, craftwork, sculpture, etc.
  • Oxygen burners: accessories, vessels, scientific instruments, etc.

As noted above, different types of glass have different levels of softness, which affects how the artist works with them:

  • Soft glass: Glass with a COE of 130, which is lower than that of hard glass. In industrial products, glass up to about COE 80 is called ordinary glass.
  • Hard glass: Glass with a coefficient of expansion (COE) of up to around 40, as typified by borosilicate glass. In glass crafts, glass with a COE of around 34 is used.

Kokeshi Glass Pen is made using a technique called lace cane in which two or more pieces of glass are combined together. It’s made of hard glass, but be careful not to impact it or drop it.

Please be careful not to apply too much pressure on the glass pen as it may break.

Please note that the shape and size of each item may vary due to the handmade nature of this product.

Please be aware that any impact may cause scratches, chips, or other damage to the glass pens.

If the product is broken, please handle it with care as shards of glass may cause injury. Do not use this product for any purpose other than its intended use.

When storing, please keep out of reach of children and pets.

Please do not use this product for children due to the sharpness of the pen tip.
