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 crystal, which requires immense precision to achieve the signature depth and light refraction.
Yes, this glass is made from premium, lead-free crystal, making it perfectly safe for regular consumption of spirits. It offers the clarity and brilliance of traditional crystal without the health concerns associated with lead-based materials.
To preserve the hand-cut patterns and clarity, we recommend hand-washing the glass with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive cycles can damage the delicate edges of the cut glass over time.
