Black Star Whiskey Glass

With this meticulously handcrafted whiskey glass, each sip will instantly transport you to a world of timeless style that puts its own spin on tradition. As each glass is made by hand, they may look similarly stunning, but no two are exactly the same. 

The intricate network of lines and starburst shapes create a delicate texture that wraps around the exterior, but when it’s in your hand, you’ll be impressed with the weighty handfeel that belies its incredible quality.

The striking black lip invites attention, and the carefully placed cut lines stand out against the black diagonal stripes. Black is often considered the most challenging hue to carve in Edo Kiriko. The intricacy arises from the method of cutting kiriko glass, which involves inspecting the interior while referencing the pattern etched on the glass's exterior. Unfortunately, this pattern remains invisible when the glass is black. Achieving this delicate balance demands years of expertise, a refined sensibility, and impeccable technique.

Holding up to 200 ml (6.8 fl oz) of your favorite drink, it’s the right size for whatever is on the menu, and the subtle hues of the stripes and contrasting bottom instantly elevate the visual of the cocktail, mocktail, or any other liquid inside.
