Edo Kiriko “Kingyo” (Goldfish)
The Edo Kiriko “Kingyo” glass showcases the beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship through an enchanting visual illusion.
When filled with your favorite drink, the engraved goldfish design appears to float gracefully within the glass, as if viewed from above a pond.
Created by GLASS-LAB, a Tokyo-based workshop continuing the legacy of Shiina Glass Studio (est. 1950),
each piece combines two expert techniques—Hira-kiriko (flat cutting) and sandblasting—to achieve precision down to 0.09mm.
Crafted from rare “Kin-aka” double-layered glass—light blue overlaid with soft pink—it evokes the shimmering world beneath the water’s surface.
Every glass is individually handcrafted and presented in a Paulownia wood box, wrapped in GLASS-LAB’s original paper, making it a thoughtful gift for special occasions.
