Shirochibu-tessen/Aochibu-tessen Pair Wine Glasses (Small) - A Step Above Your Average Wine Glasses

This glass pair was created to match any Western or Japanese environment. Kutaniwa glasses are famous the world over for their colorful Kutani porcelain designs crafted by hand from a mixture of Edo glass and blown glass. It is generally very difficult to adhere to porcelain and glass. However, porcelain alone was undesirable as the color of the drink within could not be seen. Thus, a method to effectively combine porcelain and glass was researched, and the current design received the prestigious Good Design Award in 2006. This glass pair was created to match any Western or Japanese environment, and has a lovely design that’s sure to bring sophistication to your table.

Japan’s World Famous Kutani Ware

Japan’s World Famous Kutani Ware

The Kutani-yaki method of creating designs in ceramic has been referred to Kutani ware for several hundreds of years, and is prized the world over for its high quality. This method has been passed down for generations, and is still used by artisans today. Particularly, this design which is referred to as Kinhanazume is very popular.

The beautiful, refined earthenware patterns of Kutani-yaki are crafted from the soil of Kaga’s Hyakumangoku. This style came about from its history as a gift to noblemen throughout history.
