Oriental Artisan Edo Kiriko Whisky Glass

Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese glass-cutting technique that dates back to the 19th century. It involves master artisans hand-cutting intricate geometric patterns into crystal, which are then polished to create a unique play of light and texture.

No, this glass is crafted from premium, lead-free crystal. It offers the same high clarity and refractive index as traditional leaded glass while being a safer, more modern material choice.

To preserve the hand-cut details and clarity, we recommend hand-washing the glass with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using an abrasive sponge or placing it in the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can dull the finish over time.

The glass is designed with a substantial, satisfying weight that reflects its high-quality crystal construction. It is balanced to feel stable and comfortable, providing a tactile experience that enhances the ritual of enjoying a whisky.

The intricate cuts are primarily on the exterior of the glass, leaving the interior smooth for a standard drinking experience. The texture on the outside provides a secure grip while allowing the light to refract through the crystal and illuminate the liquid inside.

Yes, the included wooden box is designed for both elegant gifting and long-term protection. It provides a secure, cushioned environment to keep the glass free from dust and scratches when it is not in use.
