Hizen Vidro / Rainbow Beer Glass / Hand-blown

It is recommended for frequent beer drinkers as it is made in a size that allows you to pour a large amount of beer and enjoy the slurping sensation.

The rainbow series expresses the colors of the rainbow with five vivid colors of colored glass scattered around the glass.
Please try drinking beer with this glass, which has a soft atmosphere typical of blown glass.

Each glass is handmade by blowing into the air to form a spherical shape, so the shape of each glass is slightly different, and this is where the handmade quality comes through.

How about a gift for beer lovers?

HIZEN VIDRO / HIZEN GLASSWARE

About 175 years ago / 1850s / Late Edo Period

Hizen Vidro began in 1852 at Seiren-kata, a scientific research facility established by Saga lord Nabeshima Naomasa, where glass was needed for chemical vessels and experimental equipment. A craft industry thus emerged directly from late-Edo scientific modernization and later passed into private production.

In Japan, Hizen Vidro is known for soft free-blown forms and vivid color. It remains practical tableware and sake ware while also carrying the unusual historical identity of a traditional craft born from nineteenth-century science and technology.

Its signature “Japan blowing” method is especially rare. Instead of relying only on an iron blowpipe, craftsmen use two glass rods so the hot vessel touches little except air, helping create an exceptionally smooth surface. Manipulating the two rods has earned the process the nickname “two-sword blowing.”

Individual Differences

As each piece is individually handcrafted, slight variations in color, pattern, shape, and texture may occur. These subtle differences are a natural characteristic of handcrafted works, making each piece truly unique. We hope you will enjoy these individual variations as part of the beauty and character of Japanese craftsmanship.

Production Time

If an item is not currently in stock, it may be made to order by the artisan. As each piece is carefully handcrafted, production may take several months depending on the item and the artisan's schedule. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
