Know before you buy
EDO Kiriko is a traditional Japanese glass-cutting technique that dates back over 200 years. It involves hand-carving intricate patterns into crystal, which requires immense precision and skill from master artisans.
Yes, the glass is designed to handle both whisky and tea. However, it is not heat-resistant in the way tempered glass is, so avoid pouring boiling water directly into it to prevent thermal shock.
This glass is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the clarity and integrity of the crystal, we recommend hand-washing it gently with mild soap and warm water, then drying it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
The glass is specifically engineered to concentrate and direct aromas toward the rim. This helps you better appreciate the complex notes of your whisky or the delicate fragrance of your tea.
No, this product is not lead-free. The use of lead crystal is standard in traditional EDO Kiriko craftsmanship to achieve the specific refractive index and weight that gives the glass its signature brilliance.
The Snow Yuki glass has a capacity of 200ml, which is approximately 6.8 ounces. It is sized specifically for a standard pour of spirits or a refined serving of tea.
