Iceberg tumbler on ball cloisonne

There are many cuts and many beautiful designs are made, but there is no simple and low-priced product. "simple" "original" "Cheap" It is a design made with this in mind. It's simple, but I think it's a nice design with elegance. The cloisonne, which is the base, has the meaning of the importance of harmony (ring) between people, with the appearance that the circles are connected infinitely, so that the relationship between people will continue forever. It is an auspicious pattern. A round ball (tama) and a ball (gyoku) were placed in the center of the cloisonne. "Tama" has the meaning of "a very important thing" in addition to the meaning of a sphere. Thrones, kings, gyokuro, etc. are all attached to mean "very important things". The ball is frosted and finished in a frosted glass shape by erasing. Since the ball cloisonne is our original design, a little originality is added to the simplicity. Due to the simple design of the sides, the whole glass gives a dark impression, so to balance it, the bottom is roughly cut into 16 equal parts that extend to the deeper large sides. Recognizing the shape of a rough iceberg that erodes the thick sea, we named it the "iceberg bottom" and used it as one of the foundations of future designs. It is a design with a lot of daylight that cuts about 90% of the entire bottom. This kind of adjustment is made in consideration of the balance with the lighting from the side. The bottom of the iceberg "The deep cut feels comfortable" "It is easy to get a bright impression of the glass because it is well lit." "When you look at the tip of the iceberg when you rotate the glass, you can see and hide the virtual image of the bottom, which is beautiful." There are such features. At our workshop, we use the traditional method of "hand polishing", in which the cut surfaces are carefully polished one by one, instead of "acid polishing", which melts the entire glass into pieces. The point is that it does not melt and become round, and the edges remain firmly, so it is comfortable to the touch. I think that you can enjoy the edge of the bold cut at the bottom of the iceberg to the maximum by hand polishing. That is also unique to our workshop. The Kiriko of our workshop is polished using the traditional method of Edo Kiriko, "hand polishing", which maintains the strength of the glass and finishes it with high quality. On the other hand, there are some things in the world that polish the glass while immersing it in an acid called "acid polishing" and melting the entire glass into pieces. Acid-polished ones have the disadvantages of being easily scratched and the color may fade, but since the man-hours can be reduced and the price can be sold at a low price, sales will improve, so many workshops and writers perform acid-polishing. We are here. Since the cut surface of our workshop is polished one by one, the original strength of the glass is not lost, and you can wash it with a detergent or scrubbing brush. Please note that boiling water, microwave ovens and dishwashers cannot be used like any other glassware. The handling method is explained in detail on the homepage of the workshop.
