Kagami Crystal Edo Kiriko Bamboo Vase | Green Single Flower Design

This “For One Flower” Bamboo Stem Series vase from Kagami Crystal is a slender, hand-cut Edo Kiriko work made in Ibaraki, Japan. Crafted from premium crystal glass, it features a tall, narrow form designed for a single stem. The deep green color is inspired by fresh bamboo shoots reaching upward, symbolizing vitality, resilience, and integrity in Japanese culture. Traditionally, bamboo motifs are used to wish for a child’s healthy growth and a long life.

The design is simple yet precise. Vertical cuts run along the length of the vase, echoing the natural ridges of bamboo stalks, while the base is faceted to refract light. The combination of vivid green and crystal clarity creates a calming presence, making it as much a decorative object as a functional vase.

Edo Kiriko, developed in the early 19th century, is known for its layered glass cutting technique that reveals contrasting colors and intricate patterns. Each piece from Kagami Crystal is cut and polished by skilled artisans, continuing a tradition recognized for its precision and elegance.

This vase pairs well with minimalist arrangements such as a single blossom, a seasonal sprig, or even without flowers as a display piece. It is also a thoughtful gift choice, carrying cultural meaning along with refined craftsmanship.
