This is a Hirota Glass Four Seasons set: a small sixty-millilitre glass cup with a matching glass saucer, sold as a sake cup, sauce cup or cold tea cup with a side plate to catch it.
The listing explains the name: four colours meant to recall the seasons, spring blossom, summer leaves, autumn colour and winter stars. The cup is a handleless tumbler and the small plate doubles as a chopstick rest. Hirota Glass's page in the listing places the company in Tokyo, founded in eighteen ninety-nine, blending European glass techniques with Japanese design and working in Edo Kiriko cut glass and blown glass. Each piece is handcrafted, so small air bubbles can occur, which the maker counts as character rather than defect.
The listing says the set is dishwasher safe but not safe for the microwave. It arrives in a Hirota paper gift box.
Most of our products are handmade in Japan, and sometimes the one that you receive maybe slightly different to the photo. This is very common and in no way it will affect the performance of the product.
