Satsuma Kiriko Crystal Glass Free Cup

Vivid colors, one-of-a-kind brilliance The luxury of using legendary Satsuma Kiriko Double-layered glass creates a reproduced gradation At the end of the Edo period, the feudal lord of the Satsuma domain recommended the production of Satsuma Kiriko to revive the industry. After that, it was tossed about by the rough waves of history such as the Anglo-Satsuma War, and production ceased after just over 20 years. Modern Satsuma Kiriko was born from the reproduction of this legendary Satsuma Kiriko. After blowing colored glass, transparent glass is pushed inside it, and the double layer of glass is created using advanced techniques to make it adhere tightly, and delicate patterns are engraved on the surface. The texture is heavy and solid, and even feels warm. The soft gradation of the cut parts, which is created because the colored glass is thick, is a beauty unique to Satsuma Kiriko. The fact that each piece is handmade and has a different color adds to the special feeling. The design is easy to hold and fits comfortably in a woman's hand.
