About the Artwork

I cut winding slanting lines on the side with small lines and lens-shaped windows in between, and many thin lines in the bottom so that it looks like there are particles of light when the lid is open. Raised fritted glass is used on the lid to express light reflecting on the water surface.

Kiriko cut glass

Kiriko cut glass is made by using rotating grinders or diamond wheels to cut geometric patterns and curves into the surface of finished glass vessels. The patterns are evened and finished with fine polishing stones. Edo kiriko and Satsuma kiriko are especially famous.
