This old-fashioned sake cup with legs, crafted by Satsuma Vidro in Kagoshima Prefecture, revives the delicate colors of glassware produced during the late Edo period. By blending iron oxide into the crystal, artisans achieved a pale amber-yellow tone, a color historically prized for its soft radiance and understated elegance.

The cup’s tall form and pedestal base give it a stately presence, while the hand-cut lattice and diamond patterns reflect light in subtle, shifting ways. Each cut is done with precision, showcasing the traditional Satsuma Kiriko technique, which is known for its depth, clarity, and complexity.

Symbolically, the amber tone evokes warmth, harmony, and prosperity. The raised base suggests formality and dignity, making the vessel suitable not only for casual enjoyment of sake but also for ceremonial or celebratory use. In Japanese culture, finely crafted glassware is often offered as a gift to express respect and good wishes, and this piece embodies that spirit.

With a capacity of 140 ml, this sake cup is ideal for both warm and chilled sake, though it must be handled with care, as it is not heat-resistant. Each piece is housed in a paulownia wood box tied with a Sanada string, a traditional style of presentation that protects the glass and enhances its value as a gift.

This Satsuma cut glass sake cup is a meeting of history and craftsmanship; an elegant vessel rooted in tradition, designed to bring quiet sophistication to the dining table.
