Century-old Brand｜ADERIA Ishizuka Glass Snake Eye Cup

The unique craftsmanship of Ishizuka Glass, a century-old Japanese glass brand, creates this soft, soft glass.

The glass exudes the hand-twisted texture of pottery.

(Hand-twisting is an ancient pottery-making technique, resulting in a surface that is entirely formed by hand.)

The thickened design of the cup is durable and provides a comfortable feel both in the hand and on the lips.

The double circle painted on the bottom of the cup is called a “snake eye.”

Snake eye cups are a type of pig-mouth cup, primarily used by sake brewers such as Toshiki (chief sake brewer) and Tsura (wine brewer) to determine the color of sake.

Snake eye cups are distinguished by the blue circle pattern on the bottom, contrasting with the white body.

This makes it particularly useful for observing the color and clarity of sake, as it resembles a snake’s eye.

Hence the name “snake eye cup.”
