Know before you buy
Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese glass-cutting technique that dates back to the 19th century. Unlike mass-produced glassware, each piece is meticulously hand-cut and polished by master artisans, resulting in intricate, precise patterns that catch and refract light uniquely.
Yes, the glass is made from premium, lead-free crystal, making it safe for serving beverages. While it is a functional work of art, it is durable enough for regular use provided it is handled with the care required for fine crystal.
To preserve the clarity and the integrity of the hand-cut patterns, we recommend hand-washing the glass with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using an automatic dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can dull the crystal's brilliance over time.
Yes, each tumbler arrives in an elegant, custom-fitted wooden box. This packaging is designed to protect the glass during storage and makes it ready for gifting without the need for additional wrapping.
Because each piece is individually hand-cut by an artisan, there may be subtle variations in the depth or placement of the cuts. These slight differences are a hallmark of authentic Edo Kiriko and confirm that your glass is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation.
