Know before you buy
Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese glass-cutting technique that dates back to the 19th century. It involves hand-cutting intricate geometric patterns into glass, which creates a distinct texture and allows the material to refract light in a unique, brilliant way.
No, this glass should be hand-washed only. Due to the delicate hand-cut patterns and the nature of premium crystal, a dishwasher can cause clouding or accidental chipping.
The deep, hand-cut facets provide a tactile, textured surface that offers a more secure and comfortable grip than a standard smooth-walled tumbler. The weight and balance of the lead-free crystal further enhance the experience of holding the glass.
While it is a functional work of art, it is designed to be used. The lead-free crystal is durable enough for regular whisky enjoyment, though it requires careful handling to preserve the sharpness of the hand-cut details.
We recommend washing the glass gently with warm water and a mild detergent using a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the surface or dull the crystal's clarity.
