Whisky Glass Crafting Process
Embark on a journey of refinement with our Edo Kiriko Celestial Whiskey Glass Set, where traditional craftsmanship meets modern design. Meticulously crafted using the intricate Edo Kiriko technique, these glasses reveal the heritage of traditional cut glass in every detail.
The crafting process begins with etching a deep, broad base pattern using a coarse wheel, followed by precisely carving the intricate textures with a cut-off wheel. The final step involves polishing and grinding with stones and abrasives, repeated until a smooth, lustrous finish is achieved.
The hand-cut floral pattern on each glass is a testament to the breathtaking world of Edo Kiriko craftsmanship. As light dances through the intricately carved pattern, the glass transforms into a kaleidoscopic display, evoking a dreamlike, enchanting world of light.
The Edo Kiriko Celestial Whiskey Glass Set is available in four captivating colors—Crystal Ice (clear), Vivid Green, Sakura Pink, and Ink Black. Each hue possesses its own unique charm, ensuring there's a glass to delight every discerning palate.
These glasses embody wonder and sophistication, elevating your drinking experience. Whether pouring whiskey or other beverages, the glass radiates with dazzling brilliance, creating a captivating spectacle with every sip.
The glass's design features a diagonal texture, adorned with twelve vertical facets and thirty-six stars, symbolizing the classic Shippo pattern.

Artisans begin with simple outlines drawn on the glass surface, mapping the overall balance, symmetry, and light play of the final piece. Traditional Japanese motifs—hemp leaf, shippo, chrysanthemums, and more—are arranged to guide where lines will be cut and facets revealed. In Edo Kiriko, pattern beauty is achieved by precision, restraint, and the harmony of light and shadow.
The base patterns are first incised at fixed angles to define depth and rhythm. A rotating wheel charged with abrasive slurry removes glass in controlled passes to establish the major grooves and facets. This stage determines clarity, alignment, and the crisp intersections of lines—results that rely on years of hand–eye training and an artisan’s steady control.
Next, each cut is adjusted and smoothed until the surface turns clear and luminous. Natural stone wheels and fine abrasives reach into details that metal tools cannot. This is a decisive phase: minute corrections remove burrs and powder residue so that the final geometry shines cleanly and refracts light as intended.
The final stage uses a sequence of wooden, cork, and felt wheels with progressively finer compounds. Surfaces transition from satin to mirror clarity, enhancing optical depth and sparkle without rounding the edges. Fabrics and powders are switched as needed to protect each facet, ensuring a radiant finish that brings the motif to life.
