Kagami Crystal Shop offers a dazzling selection<br />
of cut glass for connoisseurs and amateurs alike<br />
Established in <strong>Tokyo</strong> in 1934, Kagami Crystal is Japan’s first<br />
crystal glass factory, and after a visit to their shop in Ginza, you<br />
may be inclined to say that it is the country’s finest.<br />
Kagami crystalware has been receiving accolades since the<br />
company was founded, and has received commissions from<br />
the Imperial Family, the Japanese government, and Japanese<br />
embassies and consulates around the world. Kagami Crystal<br />
glassware can be found in embassies and consulates in more than<br />
250 countries around the world.<br />
If you’re looking for an artfully cut whisky or wine glass, you<br />
can find a wide array of exquisitely crafted pieces that will<br />
bring elegance to the table or anywhere else you enjoy your<br />
favorite beverages.<br />
The Kagami Crystal Shop also has an impressive selection of<br />
“Edo Kiriko” cut glasses, which are available in a variety of<br />
shapes, colors, and patterns. You can find decanters, perfume<br />
containers, vases and other vessels, which are decorated in a<br />
variety of traditional Japanese patterns and designs. Custom<br />
engraving, featuring a name, a family emblem, or another design<br />
can be performed.<br />
With the holiday seasons rapidly approaching, a fine piece of<br />
Japanese craftsmanship just might be the perfect gift. Come see<br />
for yourself at Kagami Crystal Shop.<br />
