Shinogi Sake Pitcher

Description

I am a Shinogi Sake Pitcher. C’mon, count my facets! I bet you’re losing count already.

Curator’s Notes

The name of this mouth-blown sake pitcher comes from its ridged sides, a nod to the “shinogi”, or ridge, of the traditional Japanese sword. Facet by facet was hand-cut with a diamond rotary blade for a lively texture that varies across the glass surface, growing finer as it approaches the spout. It also happens to add a nice grip for each pour of sake. A matching cup is available here.
