Flat openwork chrysanthemum tumbler

Kiriko Studio Shinkou Homepage URL: https://www.kirikoshinkou.com/ Kiriko glass made by independent Kiriko glass artist Saito Hikaru. We learned the secret techniques of hand polishing at an Edo Kiriko workshop that was founded over 100 years ago, and even though we consider the productivity and profitability of the technique low, we value the tradition and want to deliver authentic Kiriko to our users, so we also value the technique of hand polishing. Product Description Product name: Flat openwork chrysanthemum connection tumbler Dimensions: mouth diameter φ74mm x height H105mm Capacity: 240ml Product code: SK-T-ki-035 I decided to create a design that was the same as the sixth rock glass design, so I started making adjustments. The basic design is one that allows you to fully enjoy the color of the beverage. In other designs I have tried using cuts to let the color show through, but this can look a bit like a mosaic when viewed from above the cut, so I felt I needed to come up with a way to truly enjoy the color of the drink. How to make it completely clear, without pixelated edges - Rub the side of the glass evenly with a flat object I thought there were only two ways to do this: 1. Use a curved blade to scrape the sides in a circular motion. After examining and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods, we decided to scrape the bottom of the glass extensively with a flat blade. To prevent the design from becoming too original, the traditional chrysanthemum pattern is carved all the way around the top and tightened with a ring to create a traditional Kiriko look and a luxurious feel. Also, rather than cutting it into perfectly straight strips along the grid, we made the intersections of the chrysanthemum connections extend slightly into the valleys of the flat openwork to create a sense of unity. Since the colored areas are almost all clear, the labor required for this product is significantly more than with other products. The price is relatively high, but I think it's worth it. The bottom chrysanthemums and connected chrysanthemums are considered to be extremely auspicious, representing longevity, good health, warding off evil spirits, nobility, and integrity. All of the pieces featuring the chrysanthemum pattern have a sense of luxury. The bottom is cut with a chrysanthemum shape with 16 leaves. When you look through the flat part, the bottom appears doubled due to the virtual image of the light. The chrysanthemum connection is a cut that requires a sense of style and cannot be achieved through effort alone. This pattern is extremely difficult to cut, and only an experienced Edo Kiriko craftsman can cut it, so this is proof of that. We hope you will consider purchasing this special, luxurious rocks glass for yourself, as a gift, or as a retirement gift.
