This handcrafted Satsuma cut glass bottle features the newly developed Satsuma Brown color, achieved by blending feldspar into crystal glass. The warm, earthy tone creates depth and sophistication, making it a versatile piece that pairs beautifully with both Japanese and non-Japanese dining tables.
The bottle is decorated with precise cut patterns, a hallmark of Satsuma Kiriko, a glassmaking tradition revived after nearly 200 years. The detailed lattice and geometric cuts capture light elegantly, enhancing the natural richness of the brown tone.
With a capacity of 600 ml (20.29 oz), this bottle is ideal for serving fine beverages. The included glass stopper fits securely, preserving the contents while completing the elegant silhouette.
Each bottle is presented in a paulownia wood box tied with a Sanada string, making it not only a functional item but also a refined gift for special occasions. Due to the time-intensive production process, each piece is made to order and requires approximately 12 weeks for delivery.

Cultural Value & Craftsmanship
Satsuma Kiriko glassmaking began in the late Edo period but nearly vanished after the fall of the shogunate. Today, it has been revived by dedicated craftsmen in Kagoshima. Each piece is cut and polished by hand, combining tradition with innovation. The unique Satsuma Brown tone embodies warmth, stability, and harmony, making the bottle both an artistic object and a practical vessel.
This piece reflects the Japanese philosophy of merging beauty and function, designed for everyday use yet worthy of display. It stands as a symbol of cultural revival, carrying forward a craft that was once thought lost.
