A glass of clarity and rhythm, the Edo Kiriko Handcrafted Emerald Starburst Whisky Glass renders one of the most graceful expressions of hand-cut crystal — the radiating starburst — into a deep, jewel-toned emerald body. Light passes through the layered facets and scatters outward from the center, creating a luminous depth that shifts with every turn of the hand.
Wooden Gift Box Included: Presented in a wooden gift box, this premium whisky glass is ready for gifting, collecting, or display in a refined home bar. The box adds a more complete presentation for whisky lovers, anniversaries, groomsmen gifts, housewarmings, and special occasions.
The Starburst Pattern — Light in Motion
The starburst is among the most evocative motifs in hand-cut crystal tradition. Radiating outward from a single point at the base, the pattern echoes the diffusion of light through still water, the geometry of a flower in full bloom, the symmetry of a constellation. In Japanese craft, the radiating cut has long symbolized harmony, expansion, and the kind of quiet brilliance that emerges from patient mastery. Each line in this glass is hand-shaped against a spinning wheel, built through tens of thousands of careful strokes.
Midori (緑) — The Color of Calm Renewal
The deep emerald hue, midori (緑) in Japanese, has been a cherished color across centuries of art and design. It is the green of bamboo groves in early summer, of tea fields in the misted hills of Uji, of moss-covered stone in temple gardens. The color carries a sense of calm sophistication — present, alive, never striving. Paired with the radiating starburst pattern, the emerald body creates a quiet luminosity, as if light were rising from within.
The Kise (被せ) Overlay Technique
The deep emerald color is no surface coating. It is achieved through the traditional kise (被せ) overlay technique — a thin layer of emerald crystal fused over a clear base, then hand-cut to reveal the clarity beneath. Where the artisan cuts deepest, the underlying clear crystal blazes through, creating the two-tone brilliance that defines the design.
Designed for the Pour
The glass carries a balanced weight and a carefully considered form, enhancing the aroma, mouthfeel, and presentation of every spirit. The slightly tapered shape sits grounded in the hand, while the wide opening allows aged whisky to open naturally as it warms.
Perfect For
Single Malt Scotch, Bourbon, Japanese whisky, aged spirits served neat or on the rocks, and Old Fashioned cocktails. A thoughtful gift for collectors of fine craft, lovers of the color green and natural symbolism, or anyone who values precision, restraint, and the quiet pleasure of a well-crafted drink. A timeless self-purchase — a glass that earns its place at the end of every day.
