Kagami Crystal Green Edo Kiriko Vase | Gourd Shape with Grass Motif

The Kagami Crystal Green Vase is a handcrafted Edo Kiriko piece distinguished by its vivid green hue and graceful, rounded silhouette. Made in Ibaraki, Japan, by Kagami Crystal, it combines traditional Japanese glass-cutting artistry with a bold, modern color palette.

Its form is reminiscent of a gourd, a shape long associated in Japanese culture with good fortune, protection, and longevity. The surface features finely cut patterns that evoke blades of grass, symbolizing vitality, renewal, and the natural world. These cuts refract light through the green crystal, creating shifting reflections that give the vase a sense of movement.

The vase’s balanced proportions make it suitable for both floral arrangements and standalone display. As with all Edo Kiriko works, each cut is made by hand, resulting in a precision and clarity that highlight the depth of the crystal. The green coloration brings a refreshing accent to interiors, making it a piece that can stand out in both traditional and contemporary settings.
