Japanese KIRIKO cut glass SET Vintage Unused Wooden Box #231

  

Kiriko "cut glass" glassware is made by cutting the surface of a two-layered glass to create intricate patterns. In most cases, the glass consists of a thin colored layer covering a clear one, and by making incisions along the colored surface, the craftsmen are able to bring beautifully vivid patterns to life. The cuts are all made manually by pushing the glass against a spinning diamond wheel. After the patterns are done, the craftsman then attaches grinding stones, wooden disks, and resin pads to the rotating drive and gives the cuts a smooth and lustrous appearance.

Lastly, the craftsman attaches a fiber disk made of felt or cotton to polish the glass work and achieve a gleaming finish. GIFT WRAPPED : It will be wrapped with a beautiful "furoshiki" style fabric gift wrapping. In the old days in Japan, this was the traditional way of wrapping a luxurious present for someone special.
