Bamboo rendered in glass — minimal, precise, quietly stunning.
This set of six Sasaki brandy snifters carries one of the most refined patterns the Japanese glass maker produced: bamboo stalks and leaves cut and etched into hand-blown glass, with two distinctive hash marks across the leaves that identify this as a Sasaki piece. The blown glass construction gives each snifter real weight and presence, the kind you feel the moment you pick one up. Sasaki — founded in Kanda, Japan in 1902 and eventually merged into Toyo-Sasaki Glass — was considered a premier manufacturer, and the quality holds up completely. This same bamboo pattern was produced by other makers with subtle variations; the stem shape and leaf markings on these are the tell.
A handsome addition to a well-curated bar, or an exceptional gift for someone who appreciates beautiful things that are also meant to be used.
