Night-Blooming Cereus – Edo Kiriko whisky glass

A rocks/whisky glass in crystal with a motif as fleeting as it is beautiful: Gekkabijin – the queen of the night. Gekkabijin is a strongly fragrant cactus with large white flowers that open for a single night and wilt before morning. In Japan it stands for the rare and the precious moment – and that is exactly the mood the glass captures: a quiet, dignified glow that only truly reveals itself when light hits the cut. The glass carries a traditional faceted Edo Kiriko pattern whose precise cuts break the light into small, shifting sparks. The facets have a practical side too: many sake connoisseurs believe a faceted glass makes the taste rounder and mellower – so the glass suits whisky, cold sake and a clear cocktail equally well. The size sits comfortably and lightly in the hand, and the calm expression makes it a gift that lands well with anyone who appreciates a good glass. Like all Kagami Crystal glassware, it comes in a sealed wooden box – ready to give as a gift. Kagami Crystal glassware is made in small batches and demand is high – so pieces may be sold out or on back order from time to time. Each glass passes through several manual processes by experienced craftsmen, from precision cutting and engraving to the final polishing, and Kagami puts finish, clarity and longevity ahead of large production volumes. That means longer production times and that some models are only available in limited numbers. Would you like to order more glasses than we have in stock, or pre-order a sold-out model?
