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 colored glass layers to create high-contrast, light-refracting designs.
No, these glasses are not dishwasher safe. Due to the delicate nature of the hand-cut crystal, we recommend hand-washing them with mild soap and lukewarm water to preserve the finish and clarity.
These tumblers are designed for cold spirits or cocktails and should not be used with hot liquids. Rapid temperature changes can cause the high-quality crystal to crack or shatter.
The amber hue is an integral part of the crystal construction, not a surface coating. The color is achieved through a multi-layered glass process, which is then cut away by the artisan to reveal the clear crystal beneath.
While the patterns are deeply cut to catch the light, the edges are polished by the artisan to ensure a smooth, comfortable grip. It feels substantial and refined in the hand.
