Variant 1: Old Glass

The Kuroco Tama Checkered Old Glass is a modern interpretation of Edo Kiriko cut glass, blending traditional Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary design. Made in Tokyo by Kimoto Glassware, this faceted glass uses deep black overlay glass, cut by hand to reveal a striking checkered pattern.

The checkerboard motif is inspired by the cellular structures of plants when magnified under a microscope, revealing an orderly yet mysterious world. The design alternates squares and circles, creating a dynamic rhythm that balances geometry with softness.

Checkerboard Pattern (Ichimatsu): A traditional Japanese motif symbolizing prosperity, balance, and continuity.

Circular Elements: Added to soften the strong lines, enhancing reflection and light play, giving the glass depth and elegance.

Black Glass: Rare in Edo Kiriko, the jet-black overlay brings a modern, minimalist edge while retaining the craft’s traditional roots.

Each glass is handcrafted through Edo Kiriko techniques developed in the late Edo period (19th century). Artisans carefully cut through the black layer to expose the clear glass beneath, producing sharp, reflective facets. The precision of this work showcases the fusion of old-world skill and modern aesthetics.

This glass is an old-fashioned style glass (Old Glass) with a wide mouth and low profile, designed for versatility. With a capacity of 350ml (11.8 oz), it can hold fine drinks with large ice cubes, water, tea, or other random drinks. Its solid thickness and weight provide durability and a satisfying grip, making it suitable for everyday use as well as special occasions.

This combination bridges classic Japanese aesthetics with modern minimalism, making it suitable for both traditional and contemporary table settings.
