Toyo Sasaki Glass – Edo Glass Yachiyo Kiln Round Cup, Tekkon (Iron Navy)

Handmade Edo Glass Round Cup in Traditional Tekkon Iron Navy, Flecked with Gold Leaf

Bring a quietly luxurious touch to your table with the Toyo Sasaki Glass Yachiyo Kiln Round Cup in Tekkon (鉄紺, iron navy), one of Japan's traditional colors. Yachiyo Kiln glassware is born from a kiln in Yachiyo, in the old province of Shimōsa, and this piece inherits the production methods of Edo glass (江戸硝子), designated a Traditional Craft of Japan by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Gold leaf is scattered through the glass, and a time-honored traditional color is expressed through shades of light and depth that make the most of the glass's transparency. The result is a lustrous, softly rounded vessel with a refined, understated presence.

With its wide mouth and gently rounded, shallow form, the Round Cup is a versatile small bowl for Japanese and Western dishes alike — from kaiseki-style appetizers and sashimi to course-meal starters and desserts. Its shape makes food easy to scoop with a spoon or chopsticks, so it is as practical for everyday meals as it is for entertaining.

Each piece comes in a dedicated gift box, making it a thoughtful present for anyone who appreciates Japanese craftsmanship.
