The Nobana (Wildflower) pattern is one of the most beloved designs from the original Aderia collection, alongside the popular Alice series. First introduced in 1974 as part of a giftware glassware set, the design became so popular that individual glasses were released the following year, helping it become a familiar presence in Japanese homes.
Delicate white wildflowers decorate the glass with a charming simplicity, while closer inspection reveals scattered petals hidden within the design - a playful detail that reflects the creativity and character of the original Showa-era designers.

Ishizuka Glass Company's pursuit of glass manufacturing began with an order for vidro sculptures received from a feudal lord. Japan’s first melting techniques opened the road to mass production.
Ishizuka Glass originated in 1819 with the glass sculptures Iwasaburo Ishizuka made in the current Dota area of Kani City, Gifu Prefecture. Iwasaburo started with “vidro sculptures” ordered by the lord of the Owari Domain. Ishizuka Glass grew during the Meiji and Taisho eras, and has continued to wholeheartedly pursue glass manufacturing. They were the first in Japan to mass-produce highly transparent glass, which allowed us to make glassware a “familiar part of daily lives”.
ADERIA was born in 1961 when Ishizuka Glass fully entered the tableware industry.
