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