Overview:
This is an "EDO KIRIKO (*)" Sake Cup. It was made to enjoy Japanese Sake. Of course, you can use it in your way, e.g., drink whisky. 

* EDO KIRIKO is a traditional hand-cut glassware. KIRIKO means hand-cut glassware. It has been being made since EDO era in Edo (old name for Tokyo). 

It was made by a very reputative legend Edo Kiriko artist KOBAYASHI Hideo born in 1923. He was one of the most respected Edo Kiriko artists. According to the resume (photo #11), he received many outstanding awards and played important roles as a leading Edo Kiriko artist. He signed at the bottom of the glass as well as at the back of the lid. 

This sake cup has very simple shape and decoration. A good example of "Simple is best". The artist must have just hoped the cup fits to people's hand. In fact, it fit to our hand so well. Hope you enjoy it.

It seems not used. The box is original and signed by the artist.
