Edo-kiriko is a type of traditional cut glass originating in Edo (the former name of Tokyo) toward the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868). "Kiriko" means "faceted" in Japanese, and refers to the multitude of decorative patterns that are engraved on the surface of the glass using grindstones and other tools. Using only rough outlines as guides, artisans carve the detailed but accurate lines freehand. The whiskey glass holds 9 ounces of liquid and is 3-5/8 inches in height. The glass is in excellent condition no scratches, chips or cracks.
