Hirota Glass Amber

The warm, translucent glow of the Hirota Glass Amber brings a serene touch of Tokyo's heritage to the table. Handcrafted with an elegant flared rim, this glass catches the light to showcase a rich, honeyed hue that shifts from a dense base to a delicate edge.

Crafted by Hirota Glass, founded in 1899, this piece carries the legacy of one of Tokyo's oldest glassmakers. The studio blends Western glass-making techniques with classic Japanese aesthetics, utilising historical design archives to keep traditional Edo glasswork alive. Each glass is shaped individually by hand, resulting in organic variations that reflect the essence of wabi-sabi, where beauty is found in the unique character of the handmade.

The intentional flare of the silhouette is designed to guide aromas upward, enriching the flavour profile of whatever you choose to pour. The glass is accompanied by a minimalist wooden box, emphasizing its heritage.

Crafted from heat-resistant glass to withstand a temperature difference of up to 80°C, it is exceptionally versatile for both hot and cold use, accommodating your choice of beverage from your coffee or loose-leaf tea in the morning, to a glass of whiskey or plum wine later in the day. Its striking form also serves beautifully as a snack dish for small appetisers and desserts.

To ensure its longevity, please hand wash this piece with care. Not suitable for use in the microwave, oven, dishwasher, freezer, or over an open flame.
