Description

This beautifully designed dish has the shape of a standard 'petri dish', but is designed to be used as a candy or accessory box. Even by itself, without any contents, it is an amazing work of art, with glass decorations made by extremely talented traditional craftsmen with many years of experience. Bright up your room with this stylish design; either in red or blue, or give it as a unique gift to someone who appreciate the craftsmanship.

EDOKIRIKO:
This highly refined style bloomed during the Edo period and focusses on carving detailed patterns on glass. At that time, glass was an imported luxury item, only sold to high ranking classes as artworks. Therefore, unique, beautiful designs were essential. "Edo Kiriko" in 2002 was recognized as an official traditional Japanese handicraft. It is even presented as gift from Japan to world leaders at various occasions. The patterns are very detailed and require accuracy down to 0.1 millimeter. Today, only around 90 craftsmen still master this skill.
