This pair of drinking glasses showcases a combination of cut glass techniques for the base and painted decoration on the body, originating from the Kyoto Katsura-gawa glass tradition. The faceted base provides structural integrity and visual interest through light refraction, while the frosted upper surface is adorned with a delicate floral design rendered in two distinct colors, red and blue. This juxtaposition of textured and smooth finishes, along with contrasting decorative elements, highlights a sophisticated approach to glass artistry.
