Glass Features 2

Designs combining traditional faceted patterns

The faceted design is created by cutting the glass. This old glass is a combination of two typical faceted patterns, "octagonal basket eyes" and "chrysanthemum connections.

Octagonal kagome is a lattice pattern like a mesh of octagonal baskets, a cut that requires skillful techniques because it is composed of very delicate lines. It is characterized by the beautiful shining of light reflected in all directions. It is also believed to ward off evil. Kiku-tsunagi (chrysanthemum connection) is similarly difficult because of its fine lines, and both patterns are often used for high-end items.

We highly recommend this glass to those who prefer glasses that allow them to enjoy the gorgeous brilliance that only faceted glass can provide.
