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-carving intricate, geometric patterns into glass, which creates unique light refraction and depth.
No, these glasses should be hand-washed only. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-cut patterns and the premium crystal material, a soft cloth and mild detergent are recommended to preserve their clarity and finish.
The amber color is inherent to the crystal material itself, not a surface coating. This ensures the color will not fade or peel over time, even with regular use.
These glasses have a substantial, weighted feel typical of high-quality crystal. The thickness of the base provides a balanced, premium grip that feels stable and comfortable while drinking.
The hand-cut patterns provide a tactile, textured grip on the exterior of the glass. While the cuts are precise and refined, they offer a subtle physical feedback that makes the glass easier to hold securely.
Yes, these tumblers are versatile enough for any spirit served neat or on the rocks. Their wide opening also makes them suitable for cocktails or even as an elegant vessel for water or juice.
