About Tsugaru Vidro
Originating from Hokuyo Glass in Aomori, once Japan’s leading maker of glass fishing floats, Tsugaru Vidro carries forward generations of glassblowing expertise.
When plastic replaced glass floats, the artisans turned their chūbuki free-blowing technique toward creating decorative glassware, blending their own colours to capture the beauty of Japan’s four seasons.
Founded in 1977, Tsugaru Vidro is now recognised as an Aomori Prefecture Traditional Craft, celebrated for its gentle warmth, vivid hues, and timeless handmade quality.
Our tableware has been made with love, and sometimes needs a little extra care. While the majority of our products are microwave and dishwasher safe, sudden changes in temperature are likely to cause thermal shock, which will damage your item, and we don’t want that.
Check out our care guide here, so you can keep your tableware looking perfect for as long as possible.
As mentioned, most of our range is dishwasher and microwave safe, except a few ‘Crackle’ glazes, if you’re unsure then drop us an email info@mij.co.uk and we’ll be able to advise.
