[Edo Glass]
Edo Glass is a handmade traditional craft that began in the Edo Period in the Edo Region (present-day Tokyo). Glass is melted at a high temperature in a crucible and then wound on a blowing iron, where it is blown and shaped into a variety of forms by skilled craftsmen. It is a technique which has been kept alive in the region for many generations. These craftsmen use traditional methods passed on from the Edo period to create painstakingly hand-crafted class wares with classic appeal that continues to this day in modern Tokyo.

[Handling Precautions]
*Wash before using for the first time. As there is no sealed outer packaging, wash with a mild detergent etc before use.
*Wash glass tableware with a mild detergent. When doing so, do not use an abrasive sponge, scourer, cleanser, etc., as this may cause damage. (There are cleansers that you can use to clean glass tableware. Please check the descriptive labeling before using.)
*Be careful when cleaning the inner side of the glass. Exerting pressure on the inner side and washing in a twisting style can cause breakage and unexpected injury. It is recommended that you use a sponge with a handle.
*Do not wash in the dishwasher.
*This is not tempered glass. Handle with care.

*Do not put in or use to store knives, forks, spoons, etc. Scratches may cause unexpected breaking of the glass.
