Satsuma faceted glass, said to be a phantom of faceted glass

Satsuma faceting was produced in the Satsuma Domain (present-day Kagoshima Prefecture) at the end of the Edo period and was called "phantom faceting" because it was produced for only about 20 years. The technique of Satsuma faceting once ceased to exist, but it was restored about 100 years later, and the technique has been handed down to the present as a traditional craft.

The soba inokuchi, with its reasonable size, can be used in many ways other than for eating soba noodles. We recommend that you incorporate it into your daily life as a special item that highlights the handiwork of craftsmen.

Characteristics of Soba Inokuchi 2

Exquisite color matching! Double-cased faceted

​​Satsuma faceted glass is made by covering the surface of transparent crystal glass with colored glass at least 1 mm thick, cutting it deeply, and polishing it. The "blurring" and delicate patterns created by this process are the most distinctive features of Satsuma faceted glass.

This soba inokuchi is usually covered with one color, but it is covered with two different colors and cut. The beautiful gradation of the two different shades of color makes this item fascinating to behold with its beautiful and lustrous shine.

Beautiful sparkle enchants! Gorgeous on the dining table!

Faceted glass products, which are traditional crafts using delicate techniques but with the beautiful transparency of glass, are easy to match with today's stylish table decorations. Just by adding a cool faceted soba-inokuchi (buckwheat noodle cup) to your dining table, you can instantly create a cool impression.

The chrysanthemum design on the upper part and the flowing water pattern on the lower part also contribute to the gorgeousness of the design. The different patterns on the top and bottom of the body reflect the light and make it shine even more brightly. Once added to a table setting, it will create a sparkling atmosphere.

Tableware that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways

The soba inokuchi's reasonable size makes it very versatile and can be used in a variety of ways. In addition to being used as a soba boinokuchi, it is also recommended for use as a dessert cup or a small bowl for side dishes. Sometimes you can even arrange flowers or greens on it.

Of course, just by displaying it in a cupboard, it makes its presence known with its beauty.

At first glance, it may seem difficult to coordinate tables, but it is easy to match with both Japanese and Western tableware and is a powerful ally that adds a touch of glamour to any occasion.

Firm thickness and high stability

The soba inokuchi measures approximately 7.6 cm in diameter and 6.1 cm in height, and weighs about 240 g. It is similar in size to a typical soba inokuchi, but its thickness gives it a solid weight and a high sense of stability.

Each piece can be used individually, but since they are a pair, they can be used in a variety of situations. They are also useful as tableware for entertaining guests and for special occasions such as New Year's.
