This sake carafe, known as a katakuchi, is handcrafted at the Yachiyo Kiln, known for Edo glass made in the Yachiyo area of Chiba, a region once known as Shimousa Province. An artisan wraps thin colored glass rods and gold leaf around clear glass, then shapes the piece by mouth-blowing it, giving it a glossy finish.

The carafe shows the deep color and gold leaf typical of this glassware, with the warmth of a handmade piece that many owners say they grow fonder of with use. It measures 10.4 x 9 x 8.8 cm (4.1 x 3.5 x 3.5 in), weighs 349 g (12.3 oz), and holds 300 ml (10.1 fl oz).

The Yachiyo Kiln continues the techniques of Edo glass, a traditional craft designated by Japan's Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. It comes in its own gift box, making it a nice choice for a gift. Because each piece is handmade, slight differences in shape, size, weight, capacity, and color are normal.
