Description

The Imperial Sunburst Edo Kiriko Whiskey Glass is a striking crystal tumbler that showcases the beauty of traditional cut-glass craftsmanship through a refined and radiant design.

Its body is adorned with densely layered geometric cuts that shimmer beautifully in the light. Along the center, a band of warm golden diamond accents adds richness and contrast, while the upper and lower sections feature finely engraved star and lattice patterns for added depth and brilliance. The base reveals an elegant sunburst motif, creating a dramatic visual effect from every angle.

With a balanced 290 ml / 9.8 fl oz capacity and a substantial 338 g / 11.9 oz weight, this glass feels premium in hand and is ideal for enjoying whiskey, bourbon, Japanese whisky, old fashioned cocktails, or other spirits served neat or over ice.

Whether used for personal enjoyment, displayed in a luxury bar collection, or offered as a thoughtful gift, the Imperial Sunburst Edo Kiriko Whiskey Glass delivers both artistry and presence. Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations may occur, making every glass uniquely beautiful.

▶ The Craft, in Four Steps

01

Design Drafting

Each pattern is drawn by hand, mapping how light will travel through every facet.

02

Initial Cutting

Diamond wheels carve the primary facets. One wrong angle and the piece is lost.

03

Fine Adjustment

Each facet is refined by hand. Depth, edge, angle - adjusted until geometry becomes art.

04

Final Polishing

Progressive abrasives bring out optical clarity. Light passes through without distortion.

Why Optical-Grade Crystal?

Our crystal isn't just "glass." It's optical-grade borosilicate - the same material used in telescope lenses and camera prisms, chosen for its extraordinary clarity and precision.

When we set out to make the perfect whiskey glass, we didn't start with tradition. We started with a question: What if the same crystal that helps us see the stars could hold the amber glow of your favorite whiskey?

The result is a glass with >92% light transmission - higher than traditional lead crystal - and a hardness that allows for incredibly precise hand-cut facets. It's lighter than lead crystal, yet more durable and chemically stable.

This isn't a cheaper alternative to crystal. It's a better one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is "optical-grade crystal"?
Optical-grade crystal is a high-clarity, lead-free crystal glass formulated for maximum light transmission and refraction. It's the same quality used in premium lenses and prisms - which is why our glasses catch light so beautifully. (Yes, it's sometimes called K9 in manufacturing. We just prefer to talk about what it does, not what it's called.)
Q2: Is each glass really hand-cut?
Yes. Every facet is cut by hand using diamond-impregnated wheels. No two glasses are perfectly identical - slight variations are part of the craft and proof of authenticity.
Q3: How does the free engraving work?
Select "Add Personalization," enter your text, and we'll engrave it before shipping. Engraving takes 2-3 business days. There's no extra charge - personalization is included with every glass.
Q4: Can I put these in the dishwasher?
We recommend hand washing with mild soap and a soft cloth. The hand-cut facets can be dulled by harsh dishwasher detergents over time. Think of it like a good knife - hand care keeps the edge.
Q5: Are these safe for hot drinks?
These glasses are designed for spirits and cold beverages. Rapid temperature changes can stress the crystal, so please avoid hot liquids.
Q6: How long does shipping take?
Standard shipping: 5-10 business days. Express: 3-5 business days. Personalized items add 2-3 business days for engraving. Q4 holiday cutoffs are posted on each product page.
Q7: What if my glass arrives broken?
We pack each set with triple-layer protection. If anything arrives damaged, send us a photo within 7 days and we'll send a replacement - no need to return the broken piece.
Q8: Do you offer bulk or corporate pricing?
Yes. For orders of 10+ sets, contact us at hello@cristamor.com for volume pricing and custom branding options.
