Know before you buy
The Shippo pattern, or 'Seven Treasures,' is a traditional Japanese motif representing unending harmony and good fortune. Its interlocking circular design is a hallmark of Edo Kiriko glassmaking, symbolizing infinite connection.
No, this glass should be hand-washed only. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-cut crystal and the precision of the Edo Kiriko patterns, a soft cloth and mild detergent are recommended to maintain its clarity and prevent damage.
Because it is crafted from premium lead-free crystal, this glass offers a substantial, balanced weight that feels significant in the hand. It is designed to provide a tactile experience that enhances the ritual of sipping fine spirits.
While the design follows the 'Violet Shippo' pattern, slight variations in the depth of the cuts and the intensity of the violet hue are expected. These subtle differences are proof of the artisan's hand and make each glass a unique piece.
Absolutely. While its shape is optimized for whisky, the glass is perfectly suited for any spirit served neat or on the rocks, as well as cocktails or even as a decorative vessel for water.
