Toyo-Sasaki Glass Yachiyo Kiln Edo Glass Sake Cup Moon Viewing Black

This sake cup comes from the Yachiyo Kiln, known for Edo glass made in the Yachiyo area of Chiba, a region once known as Shimousa Province. A glass artisan wraps thin colored glass rods and gold leaf around clear glass, then shapes the piece by mouth-blowing it, giving each cup a glossy finish inspired by the seasonal atmosphere of old Edo.

This design, called the moon viewing sake cup, captures the image of an autumn night with a full moon shining among a sky full of stars. It measures 8.4 x 8.4 x 5.6 cm (3.3 x 3.3 x 2.2 in), weighs 110 g (3.9 oz), and holds 80 ml (2.7 fl oz).

The Yachiyo Kiln continues the techniques of Edo glass, a traditional craft designated by Japan's Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. The cup is packaged 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.
