GOGLASSCUP Starry Japanese Edo Kiriko Glasses

The Starry Sky Edo Kirko Hand-carved Glass is a beautiful traditional Japanese craft. Originated from the Edo period, Edo Kirko is known for its detailed carvings and intricate patterns. The Starry Sky Glass often features star-shaped patterns, symbolizing the beauty and tranquility of the night sky. These Glass are not only practical and suitable for drinking or beverages, but also have high artistic value. They are often carefully crafted collector's items, suitable as gifts or home decoration. They reflect beautiful light under the light, adding to the visual charm.

The large-cut streamline design makes the lower part of the glass look like a vivid and flowing wave. Streamlined shapes are often used in designs, which not only add visual beauty, but also make it more non-slip and three-dimensional.

The large golden chrysanthemum pattern design with a deep base really adds a unique charm to the glass. When you look down into the glass, the delicate carving of the golden chrysanthemum pattern and the combination of the wine color create a fascinating visual effect.

The design with fresh and elegant colors really brings people a sense of tranquility and comfort. The blue can be as clear as the sky, giving people a sense of relaxation and breadth; while the green is like the tender leaves of spring, bringing vitality and vigor, making people feel the breath of nature.

Hot Blowing
Generally, the molding methods of glassware manufacturing are divided into two types: manual blowing and machine blowing. Among them, the manual blowing technique, commonly known as "blowing big bubbles", was introduced to China from Central Asia in the 5th century. After melting raw materials such as quartz sand and borax in a high-temperature furnace at 1200℃, the craftsman blows air through a hot blow rod to expand the molten material. After hundreds of repeated rotations and blowing, a prototype multi-layer color blank is obtained. Then it is returned to the furnace for cooling and calcination...

Cold cutting
Using the Japanese Edo Kiriko production technique, from blowing to carving, the whole process is handmade. The daily production capacity of skilled craftsmen is dozens of times that of commercially available molded products. It can be said that each Glass is the result of the hard work of craftsmen. In the cold cutting and carving step, diamond grinding wheels will be used to carve more detailed patterns. After the patterns are carved out, the surface pattern of the glass has basically taken shape. Craftsmen will use markers to draw the basic position of the pattern to be carved, and then use diamond grinding wheels dipped in water to grind the general outline of the pattern on the surface of the glass. After carving, the cut part reveals the different colors inside.

Because the glass body is a cut carved texture and is not heat-resistant, it is not suitable for hot drinks. Excessive temperature will cause damage. The maximum temperature is recommended not to exceed 60°C. It is forbidden to use it in a disinfection cabinet or dishwasher.
Due to the hand-made hot-blown carving, there may be slight differences in the pattern and color. The Glass body may have slight hand-made marks, micro-bubbles, water marks and fine impurities. The craftsmanship is limited and it is not a defective quality problem.
