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 a distinct, faceted aesthetic.
While it is a functional piece of drinkware, its delicate hand-cut patterns make it more suitable for special occasions or evening relaxation. We recommend hand-washing it gently to preserve the clarity and sharpness of the glass cuts.
The lead-free crystal used here provides excellent clarity and brilliance comparable to traditional leaded glass, but it is lighter and more environmentally friendly. It offers a balanced feel in the hand that is ideal for enjoying whisky.
The colored glass adds a subtle tint to your spirit, which can enhance the visual experience of the drink. The green and purple options provide a vibrant contrast to the amber tones of whisky, while the black version offers a more dramatic, sophisticated silhouette.
Yes, the included wooden box is designed for both presentation and protection. It provides a secure, cushioned environment that keeps the glass safe from dust and accidental chips when not in use.
