Blue Rim Goldfish Bowl
This glass goldfish bowl is beautifully decorated with a bright blue ruffled rim reminiscent of a flower.
The classic design is said to have appeared in Japan from the Taisho era (1912–1926 CE) to the early Showa era (1926-1989 CE). Its cool appearance brings a sense of summery nostalgia to the room.
It can be used not only for keeping fish, but also as an interior decoration, for displaying flowers, or for holding candies.
When keeping fish, a goldfish bowl is said to be appropriate for keeping one or two goldfish of 3 to 4 cm (1.2-1.6 in) in length because of the small amount of water it can hold. Goldfish can grow up to 15 cm (5.9 in) in length, so it is difficult to keep them for their natural lifespan.
Fish species such as medaka (rice fish) and white cloud mountain minnow are said to be well-suited for keeping in a goldfish bowl, as they do not grow as large as goldfish and do not necessarily require equipment such as filtration systems.
Hirota Glass is one of the oldest glass makers in Tokyo, founded in 1899. Based on designs handed down to the company since its foundation, Hirota Glass has continued to produce a series of products that harmonize with contemporary home décor, while inheriting the traditional techniques of Japanese glassblowing and Edo Kiriko.
