The Hana Kagami Rocks Glass is a work of fine Edo Kiriko cut glass, designed and hand-cut by Satoshi Nabetani, a recognized Master of Traditional Crafts in Japan. Produced by Kagami Crystal in Ibaraki, this piece demonstrates the highest level of Japanese glass artistry, where utility and art converge.
The surface reveals intricate geometric patterns that catch and reflect light in countless ways, producing a kaleidoscopic effect. When viewed from above, the design radiates like a starburst, with golden and violet hues layered to create remarkable depth. This result comes from the Kasane-Irome (layered color) technique, where a layer of clear crystal is placed over colored glass and then cut to reveal vivid contrasts and dimensionality.
More than a simple drinking vessel, this glass is a collectible object that reflects Edo-period traditions of precision and refinement. Each cut is hand-finished, producing sharp clarity and brilliant reflection that cannot be achieved through machine work.
Symbolism and Cultural Value
Edo Kiriko has been practiced since the 19th century, prized for its ability to capture light and shadow. The overlapping motifs symbolize harmony, longevity, and beauty, values deeply tied to Japanese aesthetics. Owning such a piece is about function and preserving heritage, and appreciating the artistry of traditional craftsmanship.
Functional Use
With a generous 330 ml (11.16 oz) capacity, this glass is ideal for fine drinks. The weight of the crystal gives a satisfying balance in the hand, making it as practical as it is ornamental. The brilliance of the cuts enhances the color of any drink served within, turning each pour into a display.
