Design highlights
The glass features the Inkstone Flame motif, hand-engraved to produce a striking three-dimensional flame effect. Under light, the pattern rises into a vivid illusion of dancing flames across the surface, turning the glass into a visual centerpiece as well as a drinking vessel. Looking down into the glass reveals imagery reminiscent of a palace dome combined with the shifting colors of a kaleidoscope. The interplay of black and clear glass—intensified by the liquid within—delivers crystalline clarity and an elegant presence. The inkstone grey tone pays homage to nature's untouched beauty, while floral motifs and shimmering silver-like accents reflect the artisan’s dedication and the cycle of life.
Craftsmanship and technique
Made using the traditional Japanese Edo Kiriko technique, each piece is crafted by hand from beginning to end. The cold-cut engraving method relies on diamond grinding wheels to render exceptionally detailed patterns. Glass is formed by hand through blowing to achieve the basic shape. Artisans mark the intended design on the glass surface with markers as a guide. Cold-cut engraving is performed with diamond grinding wheels to carve the initial contours of the pattern. The engraving process reveals varying shades within the glass, adding depth and three-dimensional complexity to the final design.
Visual experience
The Inkstone Flame pattern is both decorative and functional: it refracts light to produce vivid, layered visuals that change with the viewing angle and the drink inside. The result is a glass that reads as art in its own right and enhances the sensory enjoyment of each serving.
