Edo Kiriko Blue Crystal Vase | Bamboo Leaf & Kagome by Kagami Crystal

This Edo Kiriko crystal vase from Kagami Crystal, titled Bamboo Leaves & Octagonal Basket Weave, is a striking example of Japanese cut glass artistry. Crafted in Ibaraki, Japan, it combines precision cutting with symbolic traditional motifs, creating a piece that is both decorative and meaningful.

The vase is made using a double-layered technique, with a cobalt blue outer layer over clear crystal. This structure enhances the depth and brilliance of each cut, making the patterns more vivid when they catch the light. The design features bamboo leaves, a symbol of strength, flexibility, and endurance, alongside the kagome octagonal basket weave, a pattern long associated with protection and harmony in Japanese culture.

Its tall, upward-flaring shape gives it an elegant silhouette, suitable for displaying floral arrangements or standing alone as a decorative centerpiece. The wide, scalloped rim adds visual interest while allowing for creative flower placement. Weighing 3.5 kg, it is substantial and stable, with the weight reflecting the quality and density of fine crystal glass.

Edo Kiriko, a craft tradition originating in 19th-century Tokyo, is admired worldwide for its intricate hand-cut patterns and precise symmetry. This vase carries that legacy while offering a timeless design suited for both modern and classic interiors. As a wedding or housewarming gift, it conveys wishes of resilience, happiness, and lasting beauty.
