The glass cup in the 2nd photo was made using a technique called Edo Kiriko.
Edo Kiriko is a traditional Japanese craft that developed in Edo (present-day Tokyo) in the late Edo period (1603-1868) and is characterized by its precise cutting techniques and intricate designs.
Two types of glass are used: clear glass and colored glass. Colored glass is made by layering colored glass on top of clear glass, and the colored glass on the surface is cut away to reveal the clear glass inside. This creates a unique beauty from the combination of the two layers of colors. These are not just tableware or decorative items, but works created by skilled craftsmen are filled with the warmth that can only be achieved through handwork.
