Kagami Crystal Whisky Tumbler (T429-642)

Glassware produced by the Kagami company is generally considered some of the finest in the world (as a reference they make the Hibiki 30 Year Old Decanter for Suntory). We've just received a small consignment of their beautifully crafted whisky tumblers.

Kagami Crystal Co., Ltd. established by Kozo Kagami, opened Japan’s first crystal glass factory in 1934. Since then the company has developed advanced glass-making skills and techniques in glassblowing, manual cutting and engraving. Their products are widely used on official occasions, such as receptions for state guests and foreign dignitaries at the State Guesthouse, as well as Japanese embassies and consulates around the world. The Company has repeatedly received special commissions from the Imperial family. It is regarded as Japan’s leading supplier of superior glassware. Said Kozo Kagami "We should pursue creation of true value refraining from short-sighted, ephemeral creativity."  He endorses the idea of “monozukuri-no-kokoro” or passion for manufacturing excellence.
