This glass is designed specifically for those who appreciate the weight. clarity. and tactile beauty of premium barware.

Artistry and Craftsmanship

• Wings of an Angel Motif: The signature feathery cuts are achieved through precise. angled hand-carving. When the glass catches the light. these deep incisions create a shimmering. winged effect that wraps around the vessel.

• Traditional Edo Kiriko Technique: Originating in the late Edo period. this craft involves multiple stages of grinding and polishing. The result is a glass with sharp. clean lines and a brilliant refractive index that far surpasses standard glassware.

• Hand-Cut Precision: Because each glass is carved by hand. no two pieces are exactly identical. You can feel the slight ridges and depth of the cuts. providing a rich. non-slip tactile experience.

Superior Material and Durability

• High-Clarity Crystal Glass: Made from premium crystal. the glass offers exceptional transparency. This allows the true color of your whiskey. bourbon. or scotch to shine through without distortion.

• Designed for the Ice Ball: The wide. rounded bowl is specifically sized to accommodate a large spherical ice ball. This ensures slow melting and minimal dilution. keeping your spirit at the perfect temperature.

• Robust Durability: Despite its delicate appearance. the glass is crafted with a substantial weighted base and thickened walls. making it durable enough for regular use while maintaining its elegant profile.

The Sensory Experience

• Light Refraction: As you swirl your drink. the hand-cut facets act as prisms. casting kaleidoscopic light patterns onto the table and through the liquid.

• Aromatic Focus: The slightly tapered rim helps concentrate the aromatics of the spirit. directing the bouquet toward the nose for a fuller tasting experience.

• Weighted Balance: The heavy bottom provides a satisfying heft in the hand. signifying quality and providing stability on any surface.

Maintenance and Care

To protect the intricate hand-cut patterns and crystal clarity:

• Hand Wash Only: Use a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid dishwashers. as high heat and abrasive chemicals can dull the sharp edges of the cuts.

• Avoid Extreme Temperature Shocks: Do not pour boiling water into a cold glass or vice versa.

• Polishing: Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to buff the glass after drying to restore its signature brilliant shine.
