Yet this unconventional form is precisely what gives the piece its remarkable comfort and tactile appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from soda-lime glass, each facet catches and reflects light differently, enhancing the colour and movement of whisky, cocktails, or spirits served within. The textured contours fit naturally into the hand, creating an unexpectedly ergonomic grip that feels secure and balanced while drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sculptural and functional, the glass elevates the ritual of enjoying fine spirits. Whether used for whisky on the rocks, an Old Fashioned cocktail, or simply sparkling water, it brings refined Japanese design sensibility to everyday moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crumple Old Fashioned Glass is carefully presented in a simple card box suitable for wrapping and its protective packaging helps safeguard the delicate handmade glass during storage and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNB: As each glass is individually crafted, slight variations, tiny bubbles, or subtle irregularities may occur and are considered part of the character of handmade Japanese glassware.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo preserve its beauty:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash using mild detergent and a soft sponge\u003cbr\u003eAvoid abrasive cleaners or scourers\u003cbr\u003eNot suitable for microwave, oven, or direct heat use\u003cbr\u003eAvoid sudden temperature changes\u003cbr\u003eDry promptly after washing to prevent water marks\u003cbr\u003eStore carefully without stacking to reduce risk of scratches or breakage\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Kimura Glass Company\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Tokyo in 1910, Kimura Glass Company is one of Japan’s most respected names in premium glassware.
