Handmade Edo Glass Gold Leaf Sake Cup | Blue

The Yachiyo Kiln Sake Cup is a handcrafted piece of Edo Glass, a traditional Japanese craft originating from the Edo period (now known as Tokyo). Each cup is carefully hand-blown by skilled artisans who use techniques passed down through generations. The kiln, located in the Shimosa prefecture, specializes in producing high-quality glassware, including sake cups and tumblers.

What makes the Yachiyo Kiln pieces stand out is their combination of traditional craftsmanship and intricate designs, such as the use of gold leaf and other luxurious details. These sake cups are crafted to enhance the sake-drinking experience by preserving the temperature and allowing the delicate fragrance of the sake to waft gently. With their unique, hand-blown shapes and intricate detailing, each cup is a work of art.

The "Starry Sky" collection, for example, features a delicate design inspired by the night sky, creating a sense of luxury and depth. These pieces are not only practical but also serve as collector's items, making them ideal for gifts or personal enjoyment. Every piece is handmade, resulting in slight variations that add to the charm and uniqueness of the glass​.
