Oriental Artisan Edo Kiriko Whisky Glass

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 a distinct, light-refracting effect.

While it is a handcrafted work of art, it is designed to be fully functional for enjoying whisky. The lead-free crystal is durable, though we recommend hand-washing to preserve the precision of the hand-cut patterns.

To maintain the clarity and prevent scratching, wash the glass by hand using mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and abrasive detergents can dull the polished finish over time.

The hand-cut grooves provide a tactile, textured grip that feels substantial and secure. The weight of the premium crystal adds to the overall experience, making it feel balanced and comfortable while holding your drink.

The color is integral to the crystal itself. The artisans cut through a layer of colored glass to reveal the clear crystal beneath, which is what creates the sharp, high-contrast 'Amethyst Prism' pattern.
