  • Description:
    • A masterpiece of intricacy, that took weeks of painstaking effort carving and masking/plating the surface of high-transparency glass panels, and then fusing them together flawlessly with Hxtal which is a very difficult substance to use! 
    • Amazing scenery of the mythical White Whale swimming gracefully among the star-filled ocean, with multiple layers of glass panels creating an incredible sense of depth to both the patterns and shape of the whale, as well as the ocean waves around it! 
    • The silver-plating technique used is from a traditional Japanese art style called "Makie(蒔絵)" originated from Ishikawa Prefecture 
    • One of the most intricate examples of carved patterns on a borosilicate marble, if not the most
