Star anise and hexagonal wine glass

When designing an upgraded wine glass, it is often easy to think of a design that is closer to originality. So, first of all, I decided to think of an upgraded design while keeping the traditional design as it is. To introduce the part that has been upgraded first, ・ The octagonal tiling, which is difficult to cut, is cut to a fairly small size, which is difficult to cut. ・ Rubbing the mouth thinly to improve the mouthfeel ・ The bowl part is changed from a curved surface to a rugged one to change the texture. Will be. All of the above three are technologies that cannot be processed by craftsmen without technical skills. Since it takes a lot of man-hours, I think it's hard to see such a wine glass in Japan. The upper part has a round octagonal tiling, and the lower part has a turtle shell cut all over to make it clear. I think that many wine drinkers choose the design of the turtle shell, so I think that many people check the color of the wine, so I chose the turtle shell that is clear in consideration of that. It is natural that the bowl part is round, but one of the themes was to change the shape of the bowl part so that you can feel the special feeling of using Kiriko from the touch. Not only the texture but also the turtle shell is excellent in appearance. Especially when you put a drink in it, it looks unexplainably beautiful. I cut about 10 patterns of the mouth by trial production, but I decided that it would be most comfortable to cut in a semicircular shape, so I adopted it. The upper octagonal basket has a fairly high degree of difficulty in cutting, and the size is about half the size of a general size. I think that you can visually feel the height of the grade by making it a fine size. In addition, the lines of the octagonal baskets are carefully polished one by one, and there is also attention to detail that gives off a brilliance that cannot be seen in other workshops. It is a high-quality model that not only looks and feels traditionally, but also has a good taste and feel. We would appreciate it if you could consider it for yourself, as a gift, or to improve the brand image of the store. The Kiriko of our workshop is polished using the traditional method of Edo Kiriko, "hand polishing", which maintains the strength of the glass and finishes it with high quality. On the other hand, there are some things in the world that polish the glass while immersing it in an acid called "acid polishing" and melting the entire glass into pieces. Acid-polished ones have the disadvantages of being easily scratched and the color may fade, but since the man-hours can be reduced and the price can be sold at a low price, sales will improve, so many workshops and writers perform acid-polishing. We are here. Since the cut surface of our workshop is polished one by one, the original strength of the glass is not lost, and you can wash it with a detergent or scrubbing brush. Please note that boiling water, microwave ovens and dishwashers cannot be used like any other glassware. The handling method is explained in detail on the homepage of the workshop.
