KAGAMI Crystal Edo-Kiriko Wine Sake Glass - Red / 江戸切子 ワイン 食前酒 グラス 36611-White The birds' gentle colouring softens

The birds' gentle colouring softens the surrounding space

but the natural signature of the artisan’s hand

With soft petals in gentle pinks and reds

This little tea strainer is shaped like a spot-billed duck — the kind of bird you might spot paddling unhurriedly along a Japanese river — and it perches on the rim of your cup with the same easy composure

It signifies a sincere appreciation for wisdom

It's a playful bit of engineering: traditional Edo Kiriko geometry set against something closer to drapery, cut into vivid amber crystal. Poured with wine, the effect shifts with every turn of the glass, making it as much a piece to look at as to drink from.
