Know before you buy
Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese craft involving the precise hand-cutting of glass patterns. Artisans use grinding wheels to carve intricate designs into the surface, which are then polished to create the signature light-refracting finish.
Yes, the glass is crafted from high-quality, lead-free crystal, making it perfectly safe for serving whisky or other spirits. While it is a functional piece of art, it is durable enough for regular use if handled with care.
To preserve the clarity and hand-cut details, 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 over time.
The hand-cut patterns provide a tactile, textured surface that actually improves your grip compared to a smooth, plain tumbler. The depth of the cuts offers a substantial feel in the hand, enhancing the overall drinking experience.
Yes, 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 secure when it is not in use.
