Cast Iron Decor – Horned Owl

Elda Bellone — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 20:20:55 +0000

Named Mimizuku, the Japanese term for a horned owl, this compact cast iron sculpture was designed by Nobuho Miya for Kamasada. Two rounded eyes sit within broad recessed planes, while the pointed upper edge suggests the owl’s ear tufts. The body is reduced to a gently tapering volume, allowing the grain of the iron and the casting process to remain visible.

Each piece is handmade in Morioka, Iwate, using Nambu ironware techniques and namagata, or green-sand casting. The ornament is finished with black urushi lacquer, which may vary slightly across the surface and reveal a silver-brown tone in certain areas.

The owl stands without a separate base and measures approximately 3 inches high. Place it on a desk, shelf, or bookcase as a compact sculpture, or use its 1.76-pound weight as a paperweight. Small differences in form, surface texture, and finish are expected from the handmade production process.

Abstract Glass Ball Blue

The Abstract Glass Ball by Amabro is a small hand-formed glass object with color worked directly into the mass of the sphere. In this blue version, layers of deep and pale tones move through the glass in loose, irregular patterns, giving each piece its own internal composition.

The surface is smooth and weighty in the hand, while the flattened base allows the ball to sit securely on a shelf, table, or desk. It works as a standalone object or as part of a small grouping, catching light differently as you move around it. Because each ball is made by hand, variations in color, pattern, and flow are part of the piece rather than an imperfection.

Abstract Glass Ball Multi

The Abstract Glass Ball by Amabro is a hand-formed glass object where multiple colors are worked directly into the sphere during production. In this multicolor version, saturated tones intersect and overlap inside the glass, creating a composition that feels almost geological—dense in some areas, lighter and more transparent in others.

Each ball is shaped by hand and finished with a subtly flattened base so it can rest naturally on shelves, tables, or window sills. The surface remains smooth and tactile, while the color distribution varies from piece to piece, making every example slightly different. It works well on its own, but also pairs easily with other objects where color and material do the talking rather than form.
