Edo Kiriko Crystal Glass Set of 5 | Kagami Multicolor Cut Glass

This set of five Edo Kiriko crystal glasses by Kagami Crystal brings together traditional Japanese cut-glass artistry and modern elegance. Each glass features a double-layered structure, with colored crystal overlaying a clear inner layer. This design highlights the depth of the cuts, making the patterns shine brilliantly when they catch the light.

The glasses are decorated with two distinctive patterns:

Drape (shidare) - a flowing cut that mimics cascading fabric or water, symbolizing grace and movement.
Tetragonal basket weave (yotsume-ami) - a precise geometric lattice pattern that represents harmony, connection, and resilience.

Together, these patterns blend Japanese tradition with Western-style glassware, creating pieces that feel both timeless and contemporary.

Design & Colors

The set includes five glasses, each in a different vibrant overlay color: blue, purple, yellow, green, and red. The variety of colors makes the set suitable for festive occasions, group gatherings, or as a striking display when not in use. Each glass reflects light differently depending on the angle, emphasizing the hand-cut details.
