Blue-Green Edo Kiriko Faceted Cut Glass Coaster for Small Vase, Tumbler From Japan

Authentic Japanese Handmade Edo Kiriko glasses.

Kiriko is a Japanese colored glass craft known for its unique engraved patterns. A glassblower blows clear glass into a paper-thin shape of colored glass and then rotates it to make the overall form. The result is a two-layer structure with colored glass on the outside and clear glass on the inside.

By cutting patterns into the outside surface, a vivid contrast of color and transparent glass is created. There are two main regions producing Kiriko glass, the region of Tokyo producing the famous Edo Kiriko and the region of Satsuma in the South of Japan which is also very famous for its wide choice of colors.
