Shimizu Burgundy Maru Sasa Shot Glass
BY Shimizu Glass
$180 USD
Meticulously hand-blown and engraved with interwoven, traditional Japanese motifs, Shimizu Glass Co.’s Maru Sasa Shot Glass is a sterling example of Edo kiriko cut glass from masters of the ancient art form, who have been practicing it for more than 100 years. At a small workshop in Tokyo, a team of exceptional glassmakers hand-produce each shot glass with the the “sasa” pattern evoking bamboo leaves—and imbue it with a deep burgundy coloration produced by blending copper particles into the glass.
Handwash recommended.
Each piece is individually handmade, and natural variations in color, texture, and finish are to be expected and celebrated.
