Know before you buy
Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese glass-cutting technique that dates back to the 19th century. Each piece is hand-cut and polished by master artisans using specialized grinding wheels to create intricate, geometric patterns that refract light.
Yes, it is crafted from high-quality, lead-free crystal, making it safe for drinking. However, due to the delicate hand-cut patterns, we recommend hand-washing it with mild soap and a soft cloth to maintain its clarity and prevent accidental chipping.
The glass is designed with a substantial, weighted base that provides a satisfying, tactile experience. It is balanced to feel stable and comfortable, which is ideal for savoring premium spirits.
The intricate cuts are designed to refract light, which creates a beautiful visual effect around the edges of the glass. While the ruby-toned accents add depth and character, the center remains clear, allowing you to appreciate the color and viscosity of your whisky.
Absolutely. While its shape is optimized for whisky, its elegant design and capacity make it a versatile choice for serving neat spirits, cocktails, or even water at a formal dinner setting.
The glass comes with a custom-fitted wooden box, which is the ideal environment for storage. Keeping it in the box protects the intricate hand-cut surfaces from dust and potential impact damage.
