Know before you buy
Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese glass-cutting technique that dates back to the 19th century. It involves master artisans hand-cutting intricate geometric patterns into colored glass layers to create depth, texture, and light refraction.
The blue color is an integral part of the crystal structure. The artisans cut through the colored outer layer to reveal the clear crystal underneath, which is what creates the sharp, contrasting patterns characteristic of authentic Edo Kiriko.
To preserve the brilliance and integrity of the hand-cut patterns, we recommend hand-washing the glass with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can dull the crystal's finish over time.
Yes, the glass is crafted from premium, lead-free crystal, which provides a satisfying, weighted feel. It is designed to offer a balanced grip that enhances the tactile experience of enjoying a whisky.
The included wooden box is designed for both presentation and protection. It serves as an excellent storage solution to keep the glass dust-free and safe from accidental chips when not in use.
